Arsenal have made significant progress in their pursuit of Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa, with a deal expected at around £50m. Meanwhile, Manchester United are set to reject a Galatasaray approach for Bruno Fernandes and are reportedly close to a breakthrough for Brighton's Carlos Baleba.
Arsenal are advancing talks with Aston Villa to sign defender Ezri Konsa, with ownership-level dialogue helping bridge the valuation gap. The 28-year-old England international has two years left on his Villa contract.
Ezri Konsa is set to start at right-back for England in their World Cup quarter-final against Norway, with Reece James still recovering from injury. John Stones is expected to return at centre-back, and Noni Madueke replaces Bukayo Saka on the right wing.
