Arsenal have reportedly offloaded two first-team players in the last 24 hours, securing deals worth up to £20 million this summer.
Mikel Arteta is keen to bolster his squad for another title challenge next season after narrowly missing out on the Premier League title to Manchester City on the final day of the season.
The Gunners have already signed David Raya permanently from Brentford for £27 million following his impressive loan spell last season. Additionally, Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori is expected to finalise his transfer from Bologna to the Emirates Stadium in the coming days.
Arsenal’s summer transfer activity is significantly driven by outgoing deals, and the club has begun to see movement in the departure lounge with several players leaving for reasonable fees.
Belgian midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga is on the verge of joining Sevilla on another loan deal. The 24-year-old midfielder, who spent last season on loan at Luton Town, has agreed to personal terms with the La Liga club. His stint at Kenilworth Road was more productive than his previous loan at Crystal Palace, and he now looks set to continue his career in Spain.
