Arsenal midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga has sent a message to Mikel Arteta ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash against Southampton.
The talented youngster took Thomas Partey's place in the starting line-up during last weekend's 2-1 defeat to Brighton, with the Ghana international currently sidelined for 'some weeks' with a thigh injury. Lokonga was often isolated in the middle of the park against the Seagulls and he will be hoping to bounce back if he is given another chance on Saturday when the Gunners take on Southampton at St. Mary's Stadium.
