Arsenal interested in Konsa after Romeo enquiries

Arsenal are reportedly once again keen on signing Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa.

The Gunners have previously been linked with a move for the English centre-back this summer but a big gap in price has prevented any move from progressing.

However, according to Sami Mokbel of BBC Sport, Mikel Arteta's side are back in for the 28-year-old but will have to improve on their initial valuation of £30 million with Villa said to be more interested in £60 million.

In perhaps a more surprising move, Arsenal were also said to be interested in bringing in Tottenham Hotspur's Cristián Romero. Although signing the player from such a fierce rival would prove to be a big obstacle.

Konsa played 48 times for Villa in all competitions last season, chipping in with two goals from defence.
