Arsenal’s bid for Anderlecht ace Albert Sambi Lokonga was 12 million pounds, but it was rejected.

According to HLN, they claimed that the Gunners had seen their bid opening rejected by the Belgian team.

Although only 21 years old, midfielder Lokonga is one of Anderlecht’s outstanding players.

With Granite Zaka and Matteo Gondozi both leaving this summer, head coach Mikel Arteta is looking for someone to partner with Thomas Patty as a midfielder.

At the same time, Arsenal will pay close attention to Leicester star James Maddison before next season.

According to the London Football Report, Arteta has been a long-time admirer of Maddison.

However, the asking price of the star midfielder is a major problem for the North Londoners.

In addition, Arsenal may have to fight Chelsea, if they lose Hakim Ziyech in the summer transfer window, Chelsea will transfer the 24-year-old player.

After the recent loan to Arsenal, Martin Odegard will stay at Real Madrid.

According to The Athletic, Odegard hopes to play for Real Madrid next season.

That’s because now Carlo Ancelotti takes over, the attacking midfielder has more confidence in Santiago Bernabéu.

This means that Arteta may have to find another No. 10, and Manchester United’s Donny van der Beek is touted as a potential target.

Speaking of this, Arsenal have contacted Van der Beck’s representative.

This is according to 90Min, who claimed that the Gunners had established contact with the Dutch international because they were interested in bringing him to the UAE.

After an unfortunate season at Old Trafford, Manchester United may be willing to let the attacking midfielder leave because he spends most of his time on the bench.
