Arsenal target Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa

England centre‑back Ezri Konsa, 28, has indicated willingness to discuss a move to Arsenal this summer. He contributed two goals and an assist in 48 appearances for Aston Villa last season and featured for England in their third‑place World Cup finish.

Arsenal, whose defender William Saliba is out with injury, are reported to be the leading suitors. Aston Villa have set an asking price of around £60 million, while Konsa’s contract runs until 2028. The club may consider a sale to comply with financial regulations, and manager Mikel Arteta is expected to weigh the offer against the club’s defensive needs.
