00:00Liverpool have already strengthened their defence with the loan signing of Arujo, but there are now reports that the Mergerside
00:08club could be considering a move for Aston Villa defender Esri Konza as well, with England international also attracting strong
00:17interest from other teams in the Premier League.
00:20According to reports, Liverpool have entered the race as they look to strengthen their defence, with the club understood to
00:30be assessing several different options even after making the loan signing from Barcelona.
00:38Now it's Arsenal that have been pushing for Konza the most in the Premier League for longer as well, and
00:44they are believed to have already explored a deal with the 28-year-old.
00:49However, the biggest stumbling block could be Aston Villa's valuation, with the Midlands club reportedly wanting around £60m for their
01:00defender.
01:02Arsenal are understood to be reluctant to meet that figure, but Liverpool could potentially open the door to a £60m
01:10buy.
01:12Konza's versatility could make him particularly attractive to Liverpool, having established himself as a centre-back, but also able to
01:21play right-back.
01:22He played both of those positions in the World Cup under Thomas Tuchel.
