Arsenal is considering Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa as a key target for summer transfer reinforcement, particularly following William Saliba's serious injury. Villa reportedly seeks £60 million for Konsa, which Arsenal finds steep but continues to pursue. Liverpool also shows interest, complicating negotiations as Konsa is said to be open to an Emirates move without actively pushing for it. Arsenal may explore other options like Konstantinos Mavropanos and Jacobo Ramon if a deal for Konsa does not materialize.
