Aston Villa star Ezri Konsa is a transfer target for Arsenal, with the Gunners valuing him at £60m.

What's behind the interest?

Arsenal's interest in Konsa stems from their desire to strengthen their squad after a successful Premier League campaign, where they won the league but came up short in the Champions League final.

Why it matters for Aston Villa

Aston Villa may need to sell one of their big-money players this summer, and Konsa's potential transfer could be a key factor in their decision-making, especially considering their current league standing, 4th in the Premier League with 65 points, and a recent 5-game winning run.

What comes next?

The transfer saga is likely to unfold in the coming weeks, with Arsenal potentially making a bid for Konsa, who has been impressive for Aston Villa, scoring 56 goals and conceding 49 this season, and recently representing England at the World Cup. Aston Villa's recent form, including a 2-1 win over Manchester City on 2026-05-24, has been impressive, and they will be looking to build on this momentum, but the potential loss of Konsa could be a significant blow, as they are already 20 points behind leaders Arsenal in the title race.
