Arsenal want Ezri Konsa from Brentford in £15m deal
Young defender was signed from Charlton in June and has impressed Gunners chiefs with fine displays
ARSENAL are ready to bid £15million for Brentford defender Ezri Konsa.
Konsa, 21, was signed from Charlton for £2.85million in June and Arsenal’s spies believe he can step up to the Prem.
The England Under-21 cap was born in London and the chance to move to one of the giants of the game will appeal to him.
Gunners want to strengthen a few areas in January and have funds to land their targets.
The new scouting regime are after young English players and Konsa fits their bill.
Bees striker Neal Maupay and centre-half Chris Mepham are also both wanted by Prem clubs.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are also on the trail of Belgian scoring sensation Leandro Trossard.
The Genk winger has scored 15 goals in 18 games this season.
And he has made Belgium’s last two squads to compete with the likes of Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku.
However, the 23-year-old is also a target for Tottenham, as well as Borussia Dortmund and Monaco.
