Arsenal fans have congratulated Albert Sambi Lokonga after he made his senior debut for Belgium on Thursday night.

In July, the Gunners signed the exciting 21-year-old midfielder in a reported £15million deal plus add-ons.

Lokonga has made two Premier League appearances for Arsenal so far, playing 90 minutes against Brentford and Chelsea.

The Belgian, who has already captained Anderlecht, has been tipped for a great future for club and country.

And on Thursday, Roberto Martinez handed him the first of what will hopefully be many caps for the Red Devils.

Lokonga came on with 15 minutes to go in the World Cup qualifying 5-2 win over Estonia.

The Gunners gem replaced Eden Hazard and gave a good account of himself for the visitors.

And plenty of Arsenal fans were eager to celebrate this big milestone for their player:

Belgium are next in action against Czech Republic on Sunday and then away in Belarus next Wednesday.

After the September international break comes to an end, Arsenal host Norwich on Saturday 11 September.
