Martin Keown gives honest 'not good enough' verdict on Edu's Arsenal transfer gamble

Arsenal legend Martin Keown has told his former club that they must strengthen in midfield during the summer transfer window. He singled out Albert Sambi Lokonga in particular, saying the Belgian is not good enough.

Lokonga signed for Arsenal during the summer transfer window as Mikel Arteta put his mark on the Gunners. He has made 18 appearances in the top-flight this season but has frequently looked out of his depth, with Mohamed Elneny more recently called upon in place of the injured Thomas Partey.

Arteta is as aware as anyone that Arsenal need to strengthen ahead of the 2022-23 campaign. European football will return to the Emirates next season alongside the extra demands it places on a club and the manager has a goal in mind for the summer.
