Arsenal close in on Ezri Konsa as England star could make debut at Villa Park
Arsenal are close to sealing a deal worth around $68 million for Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa, with the England international set to undergo a medical as he edges closer to a move to the Emirates
Ezri Konsa, the England international defender, is on the verge of joining Arsenal from Aston Villa in a deal worth around £50 million plus add-ons. The Gunners have agreed to a deal following Konsa's agreement to complete a medical at the north London club. Konsa, a former Tottenham Hotspur fan, pushed for the move after receiving an extended post-World Cup break, with Unai Emery granting him four weeks of rest alongside Ollie Watkins and Emi Martinez.
Assuming all procedures go smoothly, Konsa may make his debut for Arsenal at Villa Park on August 31, the club where he played for the past seven seasons.
