Arsenal are reportedly circling back to Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa as they push to strengthen their backline, according to BBC News.
The England international is understood to be manager's top target among several central defensive options being considered at the Emirates. Arsenal have long been linked with reinforcements at the back, and Konsa's versatility and Premier League experience appear to have made him the preferred choice over other names on their shortlist.
No formal move has been confirmed, and Villa's stance on a potential sale remains unclear at this stage. Konsa has been a key figure for Unai Emery's side, and any departure would likely require Arsenal to meet a significant asking price.
With the transfer window still open, further developments are expected as Arsenal look to finalise their defensive targets. For now, this remains firmly in speculation territory, with BBC News reporting the north London club's renewed interest rather than any agreed deal.
