Ezri Konsa is expected to finalize his move to Arsenal from Aston Villa. The clubs have agreed on a £51 million deal plus add-ons, and Konsa is set to undergo a medical soon. With his traditional number four unavailable at Arsenal, the number 15 shirt has emerged as a likely option, following Jakub Kiwior’s departure. However, Konsa may not be registered in time to play in the opening match of the Premier League against Coventry City on Friday night.
