Arsenal have spent over £100m yet still pursuing Ezri Konsa despite seven defenders
Arsenal have already spent more than £100m this summer and are still pursuing centre-back Ezri Konsa, despite listing seven defenders in their squad. BBC Sport reports the club’s transfer activity comes as they prepare to defend their Premier League title. The continued interest in Konsa suggests Arsenal are seeking further defensive reinforcement and competition for places even after heavy summer investment. The move points to a priority on depth and options at the back as the club ramps up for the new season.
