Arsenal close in on Konsa deal

Arsenal are reportedly making progress in their efforts to sign Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa this summer.

The 28-year-old England international has been on Arsenal’s radar for some time, with negotiations between the two clubs now advancing as they work towards an agreement over the transfer fee.

Arsenal are keen to strengthen their defensive options and see Konsa as a player capable of adding Premier League experience and versatility to the back line.

Discussions have reportedly reached the ownership level as Arsenal and Aston Villa look to bridge the gap between their respective valuations of the defender.

However, no final agreement has been reached between the clubs.

Konsa has been an important figure for Villa since joining the club and has also established himself in the England national team.

Should Arsenal complete the transfer, Konsa would become another defensive addition as the club prepares for the new season.
