Arsenal agree to sign Villa defender Konsa
LONDON: Arsenal have agreed to sign England defender Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa in a deal worth at least £50 million (US$68 million), according to reports on Wednesday.
Arsenal have reached an agreement to sign Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa, according to reports. The £50 million deal makes Konsa the latest high-profile target to join Mikel Arteta's Gunners squad following a turbulent summer of departures. The 28-year-old, who played for England at the recent World Cup, will undergo a medical before officially joining the Premier League champions.
Konsa's arrival comes as Arsenal address their defensive concerns, with William Saliba recovering from a back injury and Jurrien Timber still recuperating from a groin issue. The defender will bolster Arsenal's defense alongside Gabriel Magalhaes.
