Albert Sambi Lokonga has had the opportunity to impress in the Europa League this season and he has failed to grasp his chances. His performance against PSV has been his worst this season. The Belgian has been vocal about his lack of game time but when given the opportunity to pose questions to Arteta, he hasn’t been able to capitalise.
His early second-half substitution against PSV for Thomas Party highlighted Arteta’s discontent with his performance on Thursday evening. Sambi Lokonga failed to prove why he should be given more game time.
It is because of this that Arsenal could potentially look to offload the midfielder at the next given opportunity. And if reports are to be believed, then he could be used to further strengthen Arteta’s midfield.
