According to <a href="https://www.vamosmisevillafc.com/el-sevilla-fc-negocia-la-cesion-de-lokonga/" target="_blank">Vamos Mi Sevilla</a>, the 24-year-old Belgian who has spent the past two seasons on loan at Luton Town and Crystal Palace, is being targeted by the Spanish club to strengthen their midfield options. The need for reinforcements in Sevilla's midfield is pressing. Currently, the squad includes Djibril Sow, Joan Jordan, and youngster Manu Bueno as the primary options in the central midfield. However, Jordan is a player the club is keen to move on, leaving a gap that needs to be filled promptly. Director of Football Victor Orta, known for his time at Leeds United, is actively seeking solutions to bolster this key area of the team.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Lokonga’s <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/who-is-albert-lokonga-everything-you-need-to-know-about-arsenals-18m-signing/vid143pe6m4c174xcad571kyb" target="_blank">previous loan spells </a>have been less than stellar. Despite high hopes, his time at Luton Town and Crystal Palace did not yield the expected development and impact. This history has led to a situation where another loan might be seen as a gamble. However, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/lokonga-picks-arsenal-player-he-is-most-excited-to-work-with-and-names-midfield-inspirations/1331cpg1qib9e1hk0i9i7ngekx" target="_blank">Sevilla sees potential in Lokonga </a>and believes that a stint in La Liga could be the fresh start the player needs to reignite his career.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The negotiations with Arsenal are centred on a loan deal, which Orta believes could be a cost-effective solution to Sevilla's midfield woes. However, given Lokonga's underwhelming performances during his previous loan spells, Arsenal may prefer a permanent transfer rather than risking another potentially unproductive loan.

DID YOU KNOW?

For Lokonga, a move to Sevilla represents a significant opportunity to revive his career. The Belgian midfielder, once touted as a rising star, has struggled to find his footing in the Premier League. A successful spell in Spain could provide the stability and confidence needed to return to form.
