Albert Sambi Lokonga's Chance for Redemption at Sevilla

Sevilla ended the La Liga season in 14th with a disappointing 41 points and this summer many of their best players are leaving. With new coach Francisco Javier García Pimienta, Sevilla are looking to improve on last season and earn the ticket to play European football next season. Desperate to turn around their fortunes, the Andalusian side have made several adjustments to their squad in the first two months of the transfer window.

Peque Fernández has joined from Racing Santander for €4 million and Chidera Ejuke has arrived on a free transfer from CSKA Moscow, with the two new arrivals looking to fill the void of Érik Lamela and Youssef En-Nesyri in attack. Thomas Delaney and Óliver Torres have left as well, leaving a gaping hole in midfield. In order to shore up the center of the pitch, they have signed Saúl Ñíguez on loan from Atlético Madrid.

In addition, Albert Sambi Lokonga has signed on loan from Arsenal after two loan spells in England with Crystal Palace and Luton Town, and he will be looking to take this Sevilla side to the upper half of the table. In this article, we will be taking a deep dive into Lokonga’s strengths and weaknesses and how he can be of use to Sevilla’s new manager:
