Arsenal are interested in signing Ezri Konsa from Brentford in the January transfer window, according to The Sun.

It has been reported by the British tabloid that the Gunners are ready to make a £15 million bid for the 21-year-old defender.

Promising talent

Konsa joined Championship club Brentford from League One outfit Charlton Athletic in the summer transfer window for a fee reported by The Sun to be worth £2.85 million.

The 21-year-old defender has made 17 appearances in the Championship for Brentford so far this season, according to WhoScored.

According to WhoScored, the youngster has made 0.8 tackles, 1.4 interceptions, 3.6 clearances and 0.5 blocks per game on average.
