Sambi Lokonga has joined Bundesliga side Hamburger SV in a permanent transfer.
The 25-year-old joined us in July 2021 from Anderlecht, his boyhood club, where he spent more than a decade.
Sambi went on to make 39 appearances in total for us, 24 of which came in his debut season, a year that also saw him make his senior international debut for Belgium.
Following a successful first campaign in north London, Sambi gained valuable experience when he moved to Crystal Palace on a short-term loan spell the following season.
Further Premier League involvement came when Sambi joined newly promoted side Luton Town for the 2023/24 season. He played 19 times in all competitions for the Hatters, scoring once and assisting three times from the heart of midfield.
Last season saw Sambi join Sevilla on a season-long loan, when he made 23 appearances in all competitions, helping his side secure La Liga safety.
We thank Sambi for his contribution to the club during his time with us and wish him all the best for his next chapter with Hamburger SV.
The deal is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.
