Transfer: Aston Villa eye Tosin with Konsa set to join Arsenal

Aston Villa are interested in signing Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo. According to the Daily Post Nigeria, Villa are considering Tosin as a potential replacement for Ezri Konsa, who is set to join Arsenal in a £51m deal. Tosin is also attracting interest from Marseille, Benfica, and Sevilla, with Marseille believed to have made initial contact.

In a separate transfer, Aston Villa have completed the signing of Japan goalkeeper Zion Suzuki from Parma in a deal worth up to £30 million. The 23-year-old Suzuki represented Japan at this summer's World Cup and has been described by Villa as one of the game's brightest prospects in his position.

Ezri Konsa is set to leave Aston Villa for Arsenal, while Emiliano Martinez's future at Villa is uncertain. Martinez was not involved in Villa's UEFA Super Cup loss to Paris Saint-Germain last week.
