Transfer: Arsenal to sign Konsa for Arteta
Arsenal have not made an offer for Ezri Konsa, and Aston Villa are said to want about £60 million for the England defender.
- Arsenal holds 'tentative interest' in Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa, according to The Telegraph, though the Gunners have not yet submitted a formal offer to the club.
- Villa reportedly values Konsa at around £60m, a figure Arsenal views as too high for the defender, who has two years remaining on his current contract.
- Speaking earlier this week, Ollie Watkins hailed Konsa as one of the Premier League's best defenders, saying, "He can go and really excel there and make it really tough for top-class wingers to get past him."
- Manager Mikel Arteta is reportedly driving this interest, while Arsenal is also tracking Konsa's teammate Morgan Rogers, for whom Villa is demanding a £130 million transfer fee.
- Konsa joined Villa seven years ago from Brentford and is currently with the England national team at the ongoing World Cup, alongside Rogers.
