Lokonga's almost certainly gone too.
As it stands, our starting central midfield will be:
Havertz - Rice - Odegaard
With backups being:
Smith Rowe - Jorginho / Elneny - Vieira
Probably still need at least one other midfielder. I know Lokonga wasn't playing last season so good departure should be a net zero loss. But we now have CL and need more able bodies. And of our backups, Smith Rowe has been struggling with injuries, Elneny is past his prime and not competing for a starting place, and Vieira still seems to be struggling with the pace of the game every other match.
What happens to Partey then?
He wants to leave and I don't think Arsenal are going to stop him.
Juve and a Saudi Arabian club are the rumoured interested parties.
