According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Arsenal have resumed negotiations with Aston Villa regarding the transfer of defender Ezri Konsa.
The Gunners' initial offer of around £30 million was swiftly turned down by the Birmingham club.
To convince Aston Villa's hierarchy, Arsenal will need to significantly enhance their proposal in this new round of discussions.
Reports indicate that the Villains value their 28-year-old England international at over £60 million, despite his contract running out in just two years' time.
Konsa has become a primary transfer target for Arsenal as they look to bolster their defensive line. The coaching staff are drawn to his versatility, with the ability to perform reliably both in the centre and on the right flank of defence.
