Arsenal have reached a deal worth over £50 million to sign Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa, according to BBC Sport. The England international is expected to undergo a medical before finalizing his move to Emirates Stadium. Initially, Arsenal had reopened talks with Villa, but failed to reach an agreement. However, the Gunners then shifted their attention back to Konsa and successfully signed him through Villa.
Konsa, who joined Villa in July 2019, has made 286 appearances across seven seasons. Last season, he featured in 48 matches, scoring two goals and providing one assist as Villa secured a Europa League title and reached the Champions League for 2026-27. Konsa did not feature in any pre-season games for Villa, including a 2-1 loss to Paris St-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup, following a four-week break given to him by manager Unai Emery after the World Cup.
He played in every game of England's World Cup campaign, where the Three Lions finished third. Emery mentioned Konsa's absence during a post-match press conference alongside Emiliano Martinez and Ollie Watkins, stating that they would be joining the club after the match.
