Arsenal midfielder Lokonga seeks transfer to Sevilla

Arsenal midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga, 25, wants to leave the club for a permanent move to Sevilla after his loan spell. He is not in manager Mikel Arteta's future plans, prompting his desire for a transfer. Sevilla and Arsenal had previously agreed on a €12 million purchase option, but Sevilla may renegotiate due to Lokonga's contract situation. He has expressed satisfaction with his performance in La Liga and hopes to stay long-term. Other Spanish clubs, including Real Betis, Villarreal, and Atletico Madrid, are also interested in Lokonga. If Sevilla cannot secure his transfer, these clubs may offer over €10 million for him.
