Arsenal just now watches Aston Villa’s Ezri Konsa, eyeing the central stalwart.
They lodged a bid after his two goals for England in the World Cup semi final in Miami, decisively finding the net, and triggering a interest frenzy.
England comfortably won 2-1, securing victory with early strikes.
That notable moment made Konsa the first Charlton Athletic trainee to score at a World Cup, cementing his standing on the global stage.
Arsenal keenly wants him, while Villa stubbornly refuses to sell for less than £60 million, upholding a high price barrier.
