Arsenal agree a deal to sign Anderlecht midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Arsenal have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Anderlecht midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga, who will pen a five-year contract with the North London club following a quarantine period.

The 21-year-old, who has scored three times and contributed seven assists in 78 appearances for Anderlecht, has been strongly linked with a move to the Gunners over the last few weeks.

According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, the two clubs have now reached an agreement, with the Premier League side due to pay €17.5m (£14.9m) plus add-ons for the youngster.

Romano claims that the midfielder has agreed a contract at the Emirates Stadium until June 2026 and rejected two offers from Italy to join Mikel Arteta's side.

Lokonga has scored three times and registered three assists in 37 appearances for Anderlecht, but he was not chosen to be a part of the Belgium squad for Euro 2020.

Arsenal have also recently confirmed the arrival of left-back Nuno Tavares from Benfica.
