Arsenal legend Thierry Henry 'attempting to persuade the Gunners to pursue a move for young Belgium and Anderlecht midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga'

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry is reportedly attempting to persuade his former club to try and sign Anderlecht youngster Albert Sambi Lokonga.

The Gunners are likely to be on the lookout for a new central midfielder this summer amid suggestions that Granit Xhaka could depart, and Brighton's Yves Bissouma has been mentioned as a possible target.

However, according to Voetbal 24, Henry believes that Lokonga would be a good option for Mikel Arteta's side.
