Mikel Arteta is keen to sign a new defender for Arsenal (Picture: Getty) Arsenal have reopened talks with Aston Villa over a deal for Ezri Konsa and decided the maximum fee they will pay for the England defender. Mikel Arteta is keen to sign a new defender before the summer transfer window closes after losing William Saliba for an ‘extended period’. Saliba injured his back during France’s World Cup campaign and will miss at least the start of the new Premier League campaign. Arsenal were admirers of Konsa even before Saliba’s injury setback but have stepped up their interest since the World Cup finished.

Konsa, 28, has made almost 300 appearances for Aston Villa since joining the Midlands club from Brentford in 2019, helping them qualify for the Champions League and last season win the Europa League. The Charlton academy graduate has also become a regular for England and featured heavily at this summer’s World Cup under Thomas Tuchel. Arsenal first held talks with Villa last month but negotiations stalled due to a disagreement over a fee for Konsa. Aston Villa and England star Ezri Konsa (Picture: PA) According to the Daily Mail, the Premier League champions have reopened talks with Aston Villa as they try to bring Konsa to north London. However, Villa want £60m for the England star and The Times say in a separate report that Arsenal have so far only shown a willingness to pay £45m. Konsa has not featured in any of Aston Villa’s pre-season fixtures as he was given extra time off following England’s run to the World Cup semi-finals. He is expected to feature in their Premier League opener against Brighton on August 23, however, unless a move to Arsenal materialises. Arsenal’s William Saliba suffered an injury at the World Cup (Picture: Getty) Konsa is believed to be open to joining the Gunners, who clinched their first Premier League title since 2004 last season while reaching the final of the Champions League. Arsenal begin their title defence against newly-promoted Coventry City a week on Friday but will be without star defender Saliba. ‘William Saliba has returned to us from World Cup duty, where he played an integral role in France reaching the semi-finals of the competition,’ Arsenal said in a statement. ‘Subsequent specialist reviews on William’s return to London this week have confirmed that he has suffered a back injury which will require a period of rehabilitation. ‘Extensive assessments have concluded that surgery is not recommended, but William should now commence a managed recovery programme. ‘William’s rehabilitation will commence immediately, with continual management of his injury, and he is expected to be out of action for an extended period. ‘Everyone is fully focused on supporting William to ensure he is back to full fitness as soon as possible.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Fabian Ruiz has been dropped from PSG's starting lineup against Aston Villa in the UEFA Super Cup 2026 final. Paris Saint-Germain pursue their second consecutive UEFA Super Cup title in the 2026 edition when they face Aston Villa on Wednesday, August 12, at Red Bull Arena in Salzburg, Austria. However, the French champions navigate several key absences, with midfielder Fabian Ruiz left out of the starting lineup for the clash against the Villans. Ruiz begins the match on the substitute bench against Aston Villa due to a tactical decision by head coach Luis Enrique. The Spanish international recently reported back to training following an extended post-World Cup vacation, leaving him with limited conditioning ahead of the seasonal opener. The midfielder served as an indispensable contributor for Luis Enrique across the last two campaigns, helping PSG capture back-to-back Champions League titles. Despite suffering a knee injury that sidelined him for 16 matches between January and April during the 2025-26 season, Ruiz recovered in time for the stretch run, logging 34 appearances, two goals, and five assists across all competitions. Ruiz started four matches during the 2026 World Cup under Spain manager Luis de la Fuente, earning a starting role over Pedri in the final. While Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano “Dibu” Martinez also featured in that final for Argentina on July 19, Ruiz returned to team activities on a delayed schedule, prompting Luis Enrique to ease him back into competition from the bench.

(Carl Recine/Getty Images) With Fabian Ruiz far from his ideal form, Luis Enrique has opted to deploy an alternative midfield in the UEFA Super Cup final. Vitinha and Joao Neves will be starting, but Warren Zaire-Emery, who was also present for France in the 2026 World Cup roster, will be the third midfield who’ll be covering the Spaniard.
