Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa on Friday, according to Ben Jacobs, with the deal described as £51 million plus a further £4 million and a 4+1 contract.

The confirmation indicates the move has been completed at club level, with Konsa now tied to Arsenal on terms structured over four years with the possibility of an additional year. Specific contractual clauses and salary details were not disclosed in the reporting.

The report adds that Konsa has already spoken about his ambitions at Arsenal, including targeting the Premier League title. No timeline was given for his first appearance, which will depend on routine registration and selection decisions.

The fee is presented as a base figure supplemented by an additional amount, reflecting a common structure in top-flight transfers. There is no mention of performance triggers or scheduling for the extra payment beyond the headline totals.

Further details such as squad number, precise contract mechanisms and any sell-on protections were not specified. The announcement confirms Konsa’s departure from Aston Villa and his immediate addition to Arsenal’s first-team squad once paperwork is processed.
