Arsenal's defensive plans could be facing an unexpected reshuffle, with William Saliba's injury concerns reportedly prompting the Gunners to explore alternatives at the back, according to EPL Index.
The France international has been a cornerstone of Mikel Arteta's title-chasing side, but fitness worries are said to have pushed the club into considering reinforcements sooner than expected. Aston Villa's Ezri Konsa and Konstantinos Mavropanos of West Ham are understood to be among the names being tracked as potential options to bolster Arsenal's centre-back options this summer.
Neither move is confirmed, and it remains unclear how serious Arsenal's interest is or whether contact has been made with either player's club. But the report suggests Arteta is unwilling to be caught short if Saliba's fitness issues persist, especially with the Gunners eager to build on last season's title challenge.
For now, this remains speculation rather than an active pursuit — but it's a sign Arsenal are keeping contingency plans in place as they map out their summer business.
