AdminArsenal have reached an agreement to sign Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa, with the England international now set to make the move to north London.
The deal has been agreed at £50 million plus add-ons, with Arsenal also putting a long-term contract in place for the defender.
The agreement represents a major step forward in Mikel Arteta’s plans to strengthen his defensive options ahead of the new season.
Konsa has been a key figure for Aston Villa under Unai Emery, establishing himself as one of the club’s most reliable defenders and an important part of their recent progress.
His consistency, versatility and experience in the Premier League have made him an attractive target for Arsenal, who have now moved quickly to secure his signature.
The 27-year-old is expected to undergo his medical within the next 48 hours before completing the final formalities of the transfer.
Once the medical is successfully completed, Konsa will sign his contract and become an Arsenal player.
The move is now at an advanced stage, with the final paperwork and medical standing between Konsa and his official unveiling at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal supporters can now expect the club to confirm the signing once all remaining procedures have been completed.
Konsa’s arrival would provide Arteta with another experienced option at centre-back as Arsenal prepare for the new campaign.
