Sambi Lokonga: Sam Be the Man in Midfield?

Sambi Lokonga....Sounds like a regen name on the old Championship Manager. I appreciate that

I don't expect too much from him next season. Seems like one for the future. Comes across very well in his interview though.

My thoughts went more in the line of a grizzled guerilla fighter in the depths of the Congo....then Albert for the smart suit at the peace conference in Rambouillet....

They didn’t need to throw shade at my man El Neny

What Lokonga will bring to Arsenal

We look at the Belgian midfielder's key qualities - and what he will offer to Mikel Arteta's team after signing

www.arsenal.com

The Belgium Under-21 international consistently demonstrates press resistance in the build-up phase, frequently calling for the ball to feet. He registered 64 passes per 90 minutes in the 2020/21 campaign and he doesn't just pass sideways either, regularly providing line-breaking passes to help progress the ball for his side.

Did you lot see in the interview when he speaks about the influence of Arteta and Edu to get this deal done?

It went from making this club shine again (Luiz, Willian etc) to the influence of Arteta and Edu. They’re on the ropes imo.

The interviewer (@Frimpon) is on the payroll aswell. Got a feeling a lot more are on there too including a few members here.

Why is the interviewer a fat guy who is sweating?

beacuse of something you can't say out loud in 2021

 

[Gervais]

Hopefully someone smarter than me can think of a chant for him to the tune of La Bamba

Think it was Norwich game at home in 2019/2020, during lockdown.

Chunkz was the only fan in the stadium, just running around in the background on his own

 

[Arai]

Welcome Sambi!

All the best.

 

[Alan Latchley]

We clearly mean business getting back into the top 4.

Come on everybody baby do the Lakonga

 

[Badger_Revenge]

This kid will be good in a few years. He will play this year, but I think as a backup to Partey.

 

[Goonger]

Finally! Welcome 'Ket' from Brussels!

Decided to watch a YouTube comp to get me hyped for the signing, & he seems very interesting. Very athletic, looks press resistant, has acceleration to get away from a player, good passer, can tackle.

Obviously it's more difficult to see weaknesses in comp's, but is there anything apart from experience that he struggles with, because the raw materials in that look pretty exciting?!

 

[CaseUteinberger]

Looking forward to seeing him play. Until then no judgement.

 

[TornadoTed]

Welcome Sambi.

I am not expecting him to pull up trees but as long as he is a better backup than Ceballos I will be delighted.

The quality drop off when Ceballos came in for either Xhaka or Partey last year was startling, nice footballer but physically so out of his depth in English football.

 

[krackpot]

Welcome! finally, a bit of movement on the pitch (and in the transfer market).

 

[ClubLevel]

Love that this guy has made his own video.
