Aston Villa are reportedly considering Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo as a potential replacement for Ezri Konsa, with the England international now closing in on a move to Arsenal.
Konsa has emerged as one of Arsenalโs top defensive targets, with negotiations progressing between the two clubs as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his options at the back.
The proposed move would see Arsenal add another experienced Premier League defender to their squad ahead of the new season.
With Konsa seemingly on his way out of Villa Park, Unai Emery and the clubโs recruitment team have already begun exploring possible replacements. Chelseaโs Tosin has now been identified as one of the players being considered.
The 27-year-old centre-back joined Chelsea last summer and has continued to provide competition and depth in their defensive ranks.
His experience in the Premier League makes him an attractive option for Villa, particularly if they need to move quickly following Konsaโs departure.

Aston Villa are expected to assess several defensive targets before making a final decision, while Chelseaโs position on Tosin could prove crucial.
The situation remains one to watch closely as Villa prepare for a potentially significant change at the heart of their defence.
