Arsenal manager Arteta coy over Lokonga future

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta did not have much to say regarding midfielder Sambi Lokonga.

The central midfielder has complained about his lack of game time at the club since arriving in the summer of 2021.

Lokonga even stated that he was considering a move away from the club at one stage this past summer.

Asked about Lokonga's complaints, Arteta told a press conference about his philosophy regarding unhappy players: “Play them and then speak on the pitch, that's the best way."

Lokonga is likely to get a chance to impress on Thursday, as Arsenal take on PSV Eindhoven in the Europa League group stages.

The Gunners are presently top of their group, and a positive result on Thursday will guarantee them top spot.
