AdminEzri Konsa has agreed personal terms with Arsenal and is pushing to make the move, with negotiations between the clubs now entering the final stages.
The Aston Villa defender has reportedly made his intentions clear, with his representatives informing the club that he wants to join Arsenal and become part of Mikel Arteta’s project.
Talks are continuing as both sides work towards reaching an agreement that would allow the deal to be completed soon.
Konsa has emerged as Arsenal’s top defensive target throughout the summer, and the Gunners are now increasingly confident of securing his signature.
The north London club have been working behind the scenes to strengthen their defence, with Konsa identified as a priority option because of his Premier League experience, versatility and consistency.
Villa are understandably reluctant to lose one of their key defenders, but the player’s desire to move could prove significant as negotiations progress.
Arsenal are expected to continue discussions with Villa in an attempt to find common ground over the transfer fee and finalise the agreement.
The latest development represents a major step forward for Arsenal, with Konsa now closer than ever to completing a move.
As @David_Ornstein reports, the deal is progressing, with negotiations now reaching a crucial stage.
