Chelsea, Tottenham, and Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing 28-year-old English defender Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa.

According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City have scouted 28-year-old Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa in action, and they will face competition from Chelsea as well.

Konsa has done quite well in the Premier League with Aston Villa, and he could prove to be a very useful acquisition for all three clubs. However, it will be quite surprising if Tottenham decide to move for him.

The North Londoners have four senior defenders at the club, and talented young players like Luka Vuskovic and Ashley Phillips. They will not be able to accommodate the 28-year-old in the starting lineup. The England international will not want to join a club where he will not be a regular starter. He will not want to sit on the bench at Tottenham.

Chelsea and Manchester City could use Konsa

On the other hand, Chelsea could certainly use more quality in the defensive unit. They have been quite vulnerable at the back, and the 28-year-old would be a quality option for them. He is likely to start ahead of players like Trevoh Chalobah and Tosin Adarabioyo. The opportunity to join Chelsea will be quite exciting for him as well.

The Englishman will look to test himself at the highest level and joining one of the biggest clubs in England would be ideal for him. Meanwhile, Manchester City would be an attractive destination as well. They could use more depth in the defensive unit. The 28-year-old could start alongside Ruben Dias if he joins the club.

John Stones is approaching the twilight stages of his career, and he will need to be replaced. The 28-year-old Aston Villa star would be the ideal acquisition. Konsa is well settled in the Premier League, and he could make an instant impact at all three clubs. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. Aston Villa will not make it easy for him to move on, and any club hoping to sign him might have to pay a premium.
