What happened. Arsenal were knocked back in their initial pursuit of Ezri Konsa this summer, but they are ready to ramp up interest despite the two clubs being far apart on valuation.

• Arsenal only offered £30m, while Villa want double that.
• Konsa helped Villa win the Europa League and reached the World Cup semi-finals with England.
• A move depends on Villa being willing to sell, especially if their price isn't met.

Arsenal may need to significantly improve their offer, but Villa's stance could block the deal.
