Albert Sambi Lokonga signed for the Hatters on deadline day in a loan deal for the season, becoming Luton Town’s 12th signing of the summer.
Rob Edwards and Luton were under no illusions about the tough task of survival that was ahead.
18 players left the club, so incomings were sorely needed and some good signings have been made.
Ross Barkley, Marvelous Nakamba and Tahith Chong joined the club to add to the midfield conversation.
With only three other central midfielders at the club at the start of the window, the addition of new men is much needed.
With Lokonga the latest addition is he likely to start or act as a utility man?
What will Albert Sambi Lokonga add to Luton Town?
He started his career with Anderlecht where he made 69 appearances in the Jupiter Pro League.
Four years as a senior player, following seven years in their youth teams, tempted Premier League interest.
A bid of £17 million was accepted by the Purple and White, seeing Lokonga join Arsenal.
The midfielder has a tough start, making his debut in a shock 2-0 loss to newly promoted Brentford.
Mikel Arteta is a fan of the Belgian listing his intelligence and maturity as key pluses to his game.
He spent the second half of last season on loan at Crystal Palace where he was sparsely used by Roy Hodgson.
Finding himself at Luton for the whole of this campaign, he will have chance to exhibit his ability.
He is a good passer of the ball and is the epitome of a box to box midfielder which will suit Edwards’ team.
Lokonga likes to get on the ball and drive forward, often resulting in winning free kicks on his way.
Striking from distance is also one of his favoured characteristics, often looking for the ball on the edge of the box to let fly.
He will add energy to the Hatters and as a loan will be a great addition.
