Arsenal just now watches Aston Villa’s Ezri Konsa, eyeing the midfield stalwart.
They took notice after his two goals for England in the World Cup semi final in Miami, crucially finding the net, and triggering a interest frenzy.
England hard-fought won 2-1, ending the match with second strikes.
That remarkable moment made Konsa the first Charlton Athletic trainee to score at a World Cup, affirming his standing on the global stage.
Arsenal keenly wants him, while Villa stubbornly refuses to sell for less than £60 million, maintaining a high price barrier.
