Burnley is the first club to get themselves a promotion ticket to the Premier League, after ‘destroying’ the Championship this season with 101 points in the end. But of course, there is a huge gap between the two tournaments in terms of class, so coach Vincent Kompany is currently looking to upgrade the squad to prepare for new challenges.
Kompany wants to reunite Lokonga.
A report published on Onefootball said, Kompany decided to put Albert Sambi Lokonga on the target list of me. This season, Lokonga is on loan to Arsenal at Palace, but he has not been used by this club with only 9 appearances since the beginning of the season. It is worth mentioning, coach Mikel Arteta also seems to have no plans to use Lokonga, as he wants to recruit a few more quality midfielders next summer.
Given the above situation, it is easy to understand why Kompany wants to ‘rescue’ his former student. Previously, he led Lokonga in the 2020/2021 season, when both were still with Anderlecht. Need to know, Kompany highly appreciates this midfielder, even comparing Lokonga as a new version of Yaya Toure.
