Arsenal are preparing to approach Aston Villa for defender Ezri Konsa, according to reports. The Premier League champions are also targeting Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers this summer.
Arsenal are lining up a move for the 28-year-old Konsa, who performed well for England at the World Cup. He started all group stage matches before appearing as a substitute in the semi-final loss to Argentina.
The versatile defender, who can play at right-back, was born in London and is expected to be open to a return to the capital. Arsenal face uncertainty over William Saliba's fitness following his back injury at the tournament.
The club have already secured goalkeeper Illan Meslier and completed the permanent signing of Piero Hincapie from Bayer Leverkusen. They seek further additions to defend the title won last season.
