Luton Town’s manager, Rob Edwards, has expressed his conviction that midfielder Sambi Lokonga is evolving into a top-tier player, as the Arsenal loanee continues to shine during his spell at the Premier League club.
Lokonga, formerly deemed surplus to requirements at Arsenal, has found a rejuvenating environment at the underdog Luton Town, where he has been showcasing his skills throughout the current season.
In discussing Lokonga’s impact, Edwards enthusiastically shared his admiration, stating, “I love him, he’s amazing, I think he’s a brilliant player.
I told him as we were walking off the pitch after training, ‘god, you’re some player, I love watching you play.’ I think he’s great; he’s been great for us.”
Emphasizing both Lokonga’s on-field prowess and his off-field demeanor, Edwards continued, “A brilliant person, so hard-working, really humble, really talented, very tactically aware, in the right place at the right time to control a game, takes the ball under pressure.”
Furthermore, Edwards noted the midfielder’s evolving skill set, adding, “He’s giving us a final pass as well now; he’s looking like, for me, a really complete midfield player.”
Sambi Lokonga’s journey with Luton Town has not only revitalized his career but also earned him praise for his multifaceted contributions to the team.
As the midfielder continues to flourish, Edwards remains optimistic about Lokonga’s potential, further solidifying his reputation as a rising star in English football.
