15-Second Brief
Ezri Konsa's first interview at Arsenal: “I love defending, Arteta's style suits me. I’m here to win and bring success to the club.”

New Arsenal signing Ezri Konsa has given his first in-depth interview to the club's press team following his move from Aston Villa for around £51-55 million.

The 28-year-old England international, who has taken the number 15 shirt, opened up about his emotions regarding the transfer, evaluated Mikel Arteta's demands, and expressed his commitment to fighting for major trophies.

“Defending is my passion. I know that Mikel loves defenders who can really defend and maintain composure on the ball. His style suits me perfectly, so I can’t wait to get onto the pitch.

This is a moment of immense pride for me and my family — playing for one of the best teams in the world. There are so many emotions racing through my mind, but I think it will sink in properly on the day of my first match.

I want to keep winning. I’m hungry for success, and that’s why I’m here. I’ve come to win and will do everything I can to continue bringing success to this club.”
