The 21-year-old defender only signed for the Bees in June from Charlton from £2.85m but Gunners scouts have been tracking Konsa and believe he has the credentials to step up again.Konsa has already played against Arsenal this season when Brentford were beaten 3-1 in the Carabao Cup at the Emirates Stadium in September and he impressed Unai Emery and Co.
The Sun report that Arsenal have money to spend in January and they will bid £15million for Konsa, who was described by Karl Robinson as the best young centre-back in the country in 2017.Arsenal are one of several clubs to have been checking on the player for the last 18 months, but with their new recruitment process focusing on English players they are now ready to make their move in January.
