Even making the provisional squad of Belgium is a feat in itself, when you consider Sambi Lokonga is just 21 years old.

French club Monaco and Italian side Atalanta were also chasing the Anderlecht man. However, the player made it clear that his priority remains the three-times Premier League winners Arsenal.
