View Arsenal summer 2026 transfer targets
Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa has opened the door to joining Arsenal during the ongoing transfer window, according to The Daily Mail.
The Gunners are weighing up a new central defender, given William Saliba could be on the sidelines after his back injury on World Cup duty.
The Frenchman suffered the setback in the semi-final against Spain. He has opted against surgery but could still need to rest for three to four months.
Hence, Arsenal are desperately eyeing defensive cover in the heart of the backline and Konsa has emerged as one of the top names on their shortlist.
The England international has given the green light for a transfer, but the Gunners are currently far off from the valuation set by Villa for Konsa.
While Arsenal value him between £30-35 million, the West Midlands outfit are eyeing something like £60m to part ways with their prized asset.
Konsa is primarily a central defender by trade, but can also operate from the right side of the backline. His versatility is admired by the Gunners.
