Sevilla are now confident they have secured Albert Sambi Lokonga on an initial loan deal from Arsenal with an option to buy.

The 24-year-old midfielder, who spent last season on loan at Luton Town, is expected to complete a medical with the Spanish club this weekend.

Another player who looks to be on his way out of Emirates Stadium is Nuno Tavares, with the 24-year-old left-back expected to join Italian side Lazio.
