Bid Prepared: Arsenal Step up Interest in Signing England Star - Not Morgan Rogers

The Gunners are ready to test Villa’s resolve as contract talks and a large valuation gap could keep the England defender at Villa Park.

  • Arsenal are preparing a bid for Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa, according to reports, as the Gunners bolster their defensive options following injury concerns.
  • The move follows Arsenal defender William Saliba's back injury sustained during France's World Cup semi-final loss to Spain, potentially sidelining the 25-year-old for several months.
  • Villa values the 28-year-old at around £60million, though Arsenal remains hesitant to meet that figure for a defender with two years remaining on his contract.
  • Simultaneously, the Gunners are targeting Villa forward Morgan Rogers, though chairman Nassef Sawiris is unlikely to consider offers below £100m for the 23-year-old.
  • Konsa and Rogers will feature in England's World Cup bronze medal match against France on Saturday before rejoining Villa after the club's Far East pre-season tour next month.
