Arsenal made a £55.6 million bid to Bayer Leverkusen for defender Jarell Quansah this summer, as reported by Bild. Leverkusen rejected the offer, prompting Arsenal to turn towards their first-choice target, Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa. While Arsenal's interest has been noted, they may face stiff competition for Quansah from clubs like Real Madrid and Chelsea. Liverpool also had an option to re-sign Quansah but did not pursue it, although they could retain that opportunity next summer. Arsenal has since filled their defensive needs, making a future bid for Quansah less likely.
