"Arsenal outcasts Albert Sambi Lokonga and Fabio Vieira are now joining German club Hamburg this summer. Both players have no future at the North London club, and it makes sense for them to move on. According to Graeme Bailey, Lokonga will join the German club permanently, whereas Vieira will join them on loan with an option to buy. Lokonga and Vieira needed a fresh start"
"It will be interesting to see if they can get their careers back on track with regular football in Germany now. Arsenal are well-stocked in the midfield department, and they would have struggled to offer the two players regular opportunities. It makes sense for the two players to move on so that they can play more often. They have the technical attributes to do well in Germany, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops."
"Meanwhile, Arsenal will be delighted to get two players off the books. They have been very active in the transfer market, and they will look to balance the books now. Getting rid of the fringe players will be just as important as signing quality players.

Albert Sambi Lokonga will join Hamburg permanently. Fabio Vieira will join Hamburg on loan with an option to buy. Both players have no future at Arsenal and need a fresh start to regain form with regular football in Germany. Arsenal possess strong midfield depth and would have struggled to provide consistent opportunities for either player. The two midfielders have the technical attributes to succeed in the German league and can rebuild their careers with regular game time. Arsenal will welcome removing two fringe contracts to help balance the books after an active transfer window. It remains to be seen how both players develop.
