Arsenal have expressed an interest in the transfer of Izri Konsa. All things considered, the main reason behind this interest is that Konsa is a reliable, versatile and mature player. According to a report in the Telegraph, Arsenal's interest in Conor is currently somewhat moderate, and the interest is said to be "preliminary". But if Mikel Arteta is sure to want a defender, this interest could quickly increase. Jezri Konsa has become one of the most consistent defenders in the Premier League over the years. Aston Villa bought him from Brentford for £1,200 in 2019, which now looks like a fantastic deal. Although Konsa primarily plays as a centre-back, he can also play as a right-back, which is very important for squad building and rotation over the long season. According to the report, "Concer's favorite position is centre-back, but he can also play at right-back". In modern football, this kind of flexibility is very valuable. If Ben White changes clubs this summer, Arsenal will need a player who can play in both positions and whose level will not drop. Conor's value is further enhanced by playing for England's national team. He "played every match for England at the World Cup", a great example of credibility and consistency. While Thomas Tuchel's defense has looked vulnerable at times, Konsa has tackled problems with clarity and confidence. "I enjoy a great relationship with Marc, and I enjoy the moments I play with the players," Konsa said. He also said, "Against Panama we had chances very easily. But against Congo we kept our defense in order". This kind of analytical statement is very important for knockout football as well. "You have to strengthen your defense in a tournament like this. It's a knockout phase. You can't make mistakes minute by minute. Be it small chances or big ones," he said. This is the reason why Arsenal want to sign Konsa. Konsa is experienced, cool-headed and plays well under pressure. Furthermore, he is showing that he is a player ready to take responsibility. His quotes sound mature and serious at times. This interest in Konsa is seen as a logical move by Arsenal supporters. Konsa would be a good choice for Arsenal, who could produce performances that would earn him 7/10 points every week for a long period of time. The question is, how much will Arsenal spend to get Konsa? Villa will not let Konsa go easily, so Arsenal face a dilemma, if they consider Konsa to be a player capable of playing in two positions, will they be willing to pay more for him? Still, if Ben White were to change clubs, Arsenal would have to get a player like Konsa, who is there, not someone who is inferior in terms of level. Konsa is a player who will score 7/10 points every week, and often go over 10 points, and that's the type of player that championship winning teams need. --- ## Related Articles 1.
