Will Arsenal sign and register Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa?

Warum: Multiple independent, credible sources in the evidence pool confirm that Ezri Konsa completed a permanent move from Aston Villa to Arsenal in late August 2026 and was being treated as an Arsenal player by the end of the month. Arsenal’s official announcement (arsenal.com) and independent reports (Sky Sports, AS, Yahoo) state the transfer was completed (Aston Villa’s own confirmation is cited in AS/Yahoo). Match coverage and squad reporting around the Arsenal v Aston Villa fixture on 2026-08-31 (VAVEL / other outlets in the pool) treat Konsa as an Arsenal player and expected/available for selection, consistent with his registration being processed after the earlier match-deadline he missed for the season opener. Taken together, the supplied evidence shows the transfer was completed (Aug 21, 2026) and he was registered/part of Arsenal’s squad by 2026-08-31, i.e. before the market cutoff of 2026-09-01T23:59 BST.
