Albert Sambi Lokonga's name was mentioned earlier in the season in connection with Premier League clubs, including Nottingham Forest. The Belgian midfielder, who faced challenges securing a spot in Arsenal's first team under Mikel Arteta, was also associated with a potential move to Fulham. Lokonga, who transferred to Arsenal from Anderlecht for a reported €17.5 million, is under contract with the club until 2026 and spent the previous season on loan at Sevilla, where he made 23 appearances. Despite his current market value being estimated at 8 million euros—down from a peak of €16 million according to Transfermarkt—Nottingham Forest has expressed interest in acquiring the 25-year-old, who is reportedly keen to secure a regular starting position.
