Arsenal Target Struggling Villa

Ezri Konsa could make his Arsenal debut against his former club.

The England defender is one of the several key players to leave Aston Villa in recent months.

Morgan Rogers joined Chelsea for £117 million, while Youri Tielemans moved to Manchester United.

Lucas Digne also left for Paris Saint-Germain.

Ollie Watkins and Emi Martinez could also leave before the transfer window closes.

Villa endured a difficult opening weekend and were 4-0 down to Brighton inside 31 minutes.

They now face an Arsenal side full of confidence.

Mikel Arteta’s team beat Manchester City and Coventry 3-0 in their opening matches.

Despite Villa’s struggles, captain John McGinn remains optimistic as long as Unai Emery stays at the club.

Spurs look for Return on Spending

Tottenham are also looking for a response after losing 3-0 to Brentford last weekend.

The club has spent heavily on new players.

Savio and Omar Marmoush recently joined from Manchester City in deals that could be worth nearly £150 million combined.

Savio’s £75 million fee has attracted attention after two difficult seasons at City.

However, Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi believes the Brazilian can improve the team.

He said Savio must add more goals to his game to become one of the Premier League’s top wingers.

Iraola Prepares for Anfield bow

Liverpool began Iraola’s reign with a 2-2 draw away to Newcastle.

They needed a 99th-minute penalty from Dominik Szoboszlai to rescue a point.

Liverpool showed signs of adapting to Iraola’s high-energy pressing style.

However, they were also exposed on the counter-attack.

Nottingham Forest have won at Anfield in each of the past two seasons.

Iraola said he expects an emotional occasion in his first competitive home match.
