Luton Town are in talks to sign Arsenal midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga before the 11pm deadline, sources have told Football Insider<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hatters are keen to add the 23-year-old to their ranks on a loan basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lokonga<\/a> is well down the pecking order at Arsenal and is yet to feature in any of their matchday squads this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several clubs in England and Europe have been credited with an interest in the midfielder, but Luton are now pushing to seal a deal before the window slams shut on Friday night (1 September).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belgium international spent the second half of the 2022-23 campaign on loan at Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He made just nine appearances for the Eagles in the Premier League, starting in six of those outings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lokonga also played 15 times for Arsenal in the first half of last term but played most of his minutes in the Europa League group stage – starting all six of those fixtures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 23-year-old has played 39 times for the Gunners in total since signing in July 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His contract at the Emirates Stadium runs until June 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The youngster made the move to England after impressing for Belgian side Anderlecht, where Lokonga came through the ranks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He made 73 appearances in total for the European giants, notching three goals and seven assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Luton\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Luton Town, who were promoted from the Championship via the playoffs last term, have made 11 signings so far this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hatters have lost both of their Premier League fixtures this term ahead of Friday night’s (1 September) clash with West Ham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
