The embarrassing transfer fee Arsenal received for £17m player revealedArsenal sold midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga to Hamburg for an initial £260,000, a significant loss on the £17 million paid in 2021. The 25-year-old’s contract was expiring, and he wasn’t in Arteta’s plans. While Arsenal aims to maximize player sales revenue, Lokonga’s departure prioritized wage bill reduction. Hamburg also holds a purchase option for Arsenal loanee Fabio Vieira.
