Ezri Konsa has completed his transfer from Aston Villa to Arsenal.
The 28-year-old defender successfully passed his medical examination and has committed to the reigning Premier League champions.
According to David Ornstein, the final fee for the transfer was £51 million, with an additional £4 million in potential bonuses. Konsa has signed a four-year deal with an option for an extra year.
Ornstein remarked:
Ezri Konsa has completed his transfer from Aston Villa to Arsenal. The total transfer fee for the 28-year-old defender is £51 million, plus £4 million in bonuses for Aston Villa.
The England international underwent a medical at Arsenal yesterday and has now inked a four-year deal with the option to extend by another year.
Konsa is capable of playing both centre-back and right-back, providing Mikel Arteta with greater options in defence ahead of the new season, particularly in light of the injuries to William Saliba and Jurriën Timber.
This move sees Konsa conclude a seven-year stint at Aston Villa, where he has been a vital presence since joining the Birmingham club in 2019. Now, the 28-year-old Englishman will continue his career with the reigning Premier League champions.
