Transfer: Aston Villa eye Tosin with Konsa set to join Arsenal

Aston Villa are interested in signing Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo as a potential replacement for Ezra Konsa, according to Sky Sports.

Tosin is one of a few options Villa are considering to replace Konsa, after a £51m deal was agreed to sell him to Arsenal.

Chelsea are now ready to listen to offers for Tosin, who is not untouchable at Stamford Bridge.

Tosin is also attracting interest from Marseille, Benfica and Sevilla.

Marseille are believed to have made initial contact about the defender.

Tosin played under Xabi Alonso in pre-season up until the game against Real Sociedad last weekend, when he was not in the squad.
