Ezri Konsa has completed a £51m move to Arsenal from Aston Villa on a four-year contract, with the option of a further year. The 28-year-old England defender expressed his pride in joining "one of the best teams in the world" and his hunger to win. Konsa, who made 286 appearances for Villa since joining in 2019, helped the club win the Europa League in May.
He also scored two goals and provided one assist last season, assisting the team's Champions League qualification. The clubs reached an agreement after weeks of negotiations, with Villa potentially earning up to £4m in add-ons. Arsenal's sporting director, Andrea Berta, praised Konsa's athleticism, composure, and tactical intelligence, highlighting his value as a versatile defender who can play in central defense or right-back.
