Aston Villa are considering signing Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo as a potential replacement after Ezri Konsa’s move to Arsenal is agreed, according to reports citing Sky Sports. Villa would treat Tosin as one of several options while planning for Konsa’s departure.
The outlets say Aston Villa has reached an understanding that it will receive about £51 million from the sale of Konsa to Arsenal. With the transfer moving towards completion, the club is looking to address depth in its defensive line. Chelsea are described as open to listening to offers for Tosin.
While both sources focus on the same reported target and financial context, they mainly frame the deal from Villa’s perspective—how the Konsa sale creates a need for defensive reinforcements and why Tosin is on their shortlist—rather than detailing contract terms or other competing bids. No final agreement on Tosin’s move is reported in the available accounts.
