Arsenal currently watches Aston Villa’s Ezri Konsa, monitoring the central stalwart.
They became interested after his two goals for England in the World Cup semi final in Miami, decisively finding the net, and fueling a interest frenzy.
England hard-fought won 2-1, securing victory with late strikes.
That historic moment made Konsa the first Charlton Athletic trainee to score at a World Cup, affirming his status on the global stage.
Arsenal eagerly wants him, while Villa stubbornly refuses to sell for less than £60 million, upholding a firm price barrier.
