The Gunners and Reds don’t frequently transact with one another; Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was the last player the two sides acquired together in 2017. Arsenal actually shocked Liverpool four years earlier when they infamously paid £40 million plus £1 to activate Luis Suarez’s release clause.
According to rumors in France, Liverpool has now included a “Anti-Arsenal” clause to Roberto Firmino’s contract, but the two seem prepared to put the past behind them.
reports that a marginal player named Albert Sambi Lokonga might be transferred to Merseyside, citing French reports on the future of the Belgian.
The 23-year-old hasn’t appeared for Arsenal since their FA Cup loss to Manchester City last year, after which Patrick Vieira loaned him to Crystal Palace. But just a few weeks later, the former Highbury captain was fired because Lokonga had failed to satisfy his new manager, Roy Hodgson.
