Is Quansah 'the obvious choice' over Konsa? Or should Arsenal 'get both in'?
[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked you who would be the best fit for Arsenal out of Bayer Leverkusen's Jarell Quansah and Aston Villa's Ezri Konsa, with the Gunners linked to both centre-backs in recent days. Here are some of your thoughts: Neil: Quansah is the obvious choice over Konsa, because he is essentially a like-for-like replacement for William Saliba rather than a quick fix. He is the same height as Saliba, giving him that same aerial presence and comfort bringing the ball out under pressure - both are things Arsenal's set-up depends on. Konsa, at 28 years old and costing £60m, doesn't offer much beyond the short-term. Quansah, at 23 years old, has the upside to fill the gap immediately and still be a top-tier squad option for years to come. Ian: If at all possible, get them both in! They are very accomplished defenders who can play anywhere across the back four. If it's doable, then it's a no-brainer for me! Saleem: I would go for Quansah. He is younger, cheaper, still has Premier League experience and he can develop and improve further. But I would also be happy with Konsa. Owen: Quansah is potentially less reliable than Konsa, but I would definitely rather have him because of his potential. I don't want a signing until January, but Quansah provides more versatility and future prospects. Rico: I'd prefer Barcelona's Jules Kounde to Konsa. Kounde is a natural right-back as well as a centre-back, so when Saliba is out he can cover there and when Jurrien Timber is out he can cover there as well.
