Ezri Konsa is set to depart Aston Villa for Arsenal (Photo: Getty) Aston Villa have reportedly entered the race for a Chelsea star as they look to replace Ezri Konsa ahead of his transfer to Arsenal. Two days before the start of new Premier League season, it was reported that the Gunners had struck a deal to sign the England international for an initial £51million. Konsa, a centre-back also capable of playing on the right, had emerged as Mikel Arteta’s top defensive target in light of injuries to William Saliba and Jurrien Timber. While a boost for Arsenal, it is yet another massive transfer blow for Villa who have seen the core of their team ripped apart this summer, with Morgan Rogers, Youri Tielemans and Lucas Digne departing.

It could yet get worse for Unai Emery, with Emiliano Martinez almost certain to leave, while Ollie Watkins is keen on a move to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal. For now, Villa’s focus is on replacing Konsa and, according to Sky Sports, they are interested in Tosin Adarabioyo, who is surplus to requirements at Chelsea. Tosin joined the Blues in 2024, moving across west London from Fulham on a free transfer, but has failed to establish himself in the first-team, making just 16 appearances in the Premier League last season. Tosin Adarabioyo is no longer wanted at Stamford Bridge (Photo: Getty) While he has featured in pre-season under Xabi Alonso, he was left out of the squad entirely for the final friendly against Real Sociedad last week, a clear indication he is not wanted at Stamford Bridge. The 28-year-old has been the subject of interest from Benfica, now managed by his former Fulham boss Marco Silva, but reports suggest he is not keen on the move. Marseille and Sevilla are also interested in the Englishman, and the French club have already made an approach for the Manchester City academy graduate. Tosin won the Club World Cup and Conference League with Chelsea (Photo: Getty) It is not known how much Chelsea would want for Tosin, who has two years left on his contract. He is not the only centre-back the Blues are trying to offload before deadline day, with Mamadou Sarr, Aarón Anselmino and Axel Disasi, who was previously loaned to Villa Park, on the transfer list.

Defender to provide cover for injured Saliba and TimberVilla braced for fresh bid from Al-Hilal for Ollie WatkinsArsenal have agreed a £51m deal to sign Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa. The Premier League champions have been keen to find defensive cover for William Saliba and Jurriën Timber, who are out with injuries. They have tracked Konsa throughout the summer and have made a breakthrough in the negotiations.Mikel Arteta hopes Konsa, whose Villa contract has two years to run, can make light of Saliba’s absence in central defence. The timeframe for the Frenchman’s return is unclear but he is not expected to play before mid-October, having sustained a back injury in France’s World Cup semi-final defeat against Spain. Konsa’s appeal is bolstered by the fact he can also play at right-back, where Timber is battling to return from a groin injury which has affected him for months. Continue reading...
Ethan Nwaneri’s future has been the subject of intense speculation (Picture: Getty) Arsenal do not want to sell Ethan Nwaneri this summer and would prefer to send one of their most promising teenage talents out on loan. The England Under-21 international’s career stagnated last season after enduring a difficult loan spell at Marseille. Sent to the Ligue 1 club in the hope of gaining regular first team experience Nwaneri began promisingly, scoring on his debut, but Roberto De Zerbi’s sudden departure spelled disaster. The 19-year-old struggled to win the faith of the current Tottenham head coach’s successor,Habib Beye, and ultimately made just nine appearances during his time in France. Exclusive Premier League previews Get ahead of the start of the season with our weekly football newsletter. Sign up now for free. Nwaneri returned to his parent club in the summer, determined to convince Mikel Arteta he was worthy of a first team place, and appeared to be making good progress in pre-season. His omission from the matchday squad last Sunday as Arsenal swept to a 3-0 Community Shield win against Manchester City suggested his future lay elsewhere. Indeed, speaking ahead of that fixture, Arteta hinted a difficult decision needed to be made, saying: ‘I want him to be at the club. But we have to think about the medium and long term,’ Arteta said. Ethan Nwaneri spent the second half of last season on loan at Marseille (Credits: REUTERS) ‘What is best for the player? Ethan needs to play football. If he stays here, we must be able to guarantee him those minutes, otherwise it won’t be beneficial for either side.’ According to the BBC, however, Arsenal are now determined to keep hold of Nwaneri, even if it means loaning him out again. Galatasaray and Borussia Dortmund have both been linked with the attacking midfielder whose path into the Arsenal first team is currently blocked by Martin Odegaard, Eberechi Eze and Mikel Merino. If Arsenal were to receive an offer significantly above their valuation then the picture could change as outlined by CEO Richard Garlick. {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Arteta says Community Shield statement win proves Arsenal are 'ready for it'","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/08\/17\/7779755569864816200\/480x270_MP4_7779755569864816200.mp4","description":"Mikel Arteta hailed Arsenal's desire \"to go straight again\" after Manchester City were overwhelmed 3-0 by the Premier League champions in the Community Shield.","duration":"T8M14S","height":270,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/08\/17\/07\/110678029-0-image-a-8_1786947795231.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-08-17T07:22:17+0100","width":480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); Speaking about Nwaneri’s situation, and that of his fellow Hale End Academy graduate Myles Lewis-Skelly, who has been linked with Manchester United and Chelsea, Garlick told talkSPORT: ‘Obviously there may be speculation, I’m not going to go into that from other clubs but we’re very happy with Myles and the position he’s in at the club.’ In a subsequent interview with the BBC, however, Garlick added: ‘We obviously believe in our academy and have been very successful with the players that have come through that academy, Myles and Ethan being two of those. ‘Everybody loves to s
Former Tottenham full-back and caretaker manager Chris Hughton says Roberto de Zerbi is a "demanding" but "feel-good factor" head coach. "First and foremost, to take the job at the time he did was huge pressure in itself," Hughton said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily.

Al-Hilal have seen a second offer rejected (Picture: Ahmad Mora/Getty Images) Galatasaray have turned down a staggering offer from Saudi Arabia for Arsenal transfer target Victor Osimhen. The Gunners are intent on making further additions to their title-winning squad before the summer transfer window closes. Despite efforts from Mikel Arteta, Arsenal look set to miss out on Julian Alvarez who remains determined to join Barcelona if he is to leave Atletico Madrid this summer. Last week, Osimhen emerged as another option on Arsenal’s radar. The Nigeria international has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, admired by Manchester United over the years having come close to joining Chelsea in 2024. Exclusive Premier League previews Get ahead of the start of the season with our weekly football newsletter. Sign up now for free. The 27-year-old has just begun his third season in Turkey with Arsenal enquiring into his availability during talks with Galatasaray over possible moves for Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri. Arsenal’s interest is not thought to have progressed any further at this stage with Saudi side Al-Hilal making the biggest move for the striker so far. The Saudi side have already made a verbal offer of €130million (£112m), ready to pay Osimhen an astronomical €50m (£42.7m) a year. Galatasaray responded by telling Al-Hilal they have no intention of selling their prized asset, but the Saudi side remain undeterred. Arsenal held talks over a move last week (Picture: Seskim Photo/MB Media/Getty Images) According to Türkiye Gazetesi, Al-Hilal have now increased their offer to a huge €150m (£128m). Gala president Dursan Ozebek however has ‘categorically rejected’ the offer, once again informing the Saudi club they are not interested in selling. The report adds that Osimhen has indicated money is not a priority for him when it comes to deciding his future. Reports elsewhere in Turkey have suggested Osimhen would be open to a move to Arsenal. Osimhen has long been linked withamove to the Premier League (Picture: Burak Basturk / Middle East Images / AFP via Getty Images) In an exclusive interview with Metro last year, John Obi Mikel claimed Osimhen was keen to join a club capable of winning the Champions League and advised him against a move to the Saudi Pro League. ‘I think we want to see him in the Champions League so maybe Arsenal might be the destination.
