THE LATEST SPORT NEWS
Following yesterday’s victory, Ian Wright believes England should consider calling up Aston Villa center-back Ezri Konsa.
Wright stated on BBC Match of the Day 2 that Konsa possessed all of the necessary elements in his game.
Gareth Southgate, according to the analyst, should have a look at the defender who is flourishing under Unai Emery.
“He’s someone for me who is worth looking at simply because he has all the attributes,” Wright added.
“I’d definitely have a look at Ezri Konsa [for England].”
And this will be music to Aston Villa fans’ ears after their 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.
Wright could have commended many Villa players, including Konsa, Emi Martinez, and Ollie Watkins.
Of course, the latter may also be trying to re-enter the England team.
Watkins will have been relieved to score his first league goal of the season yesterday, especially given Jhon Duran’s form.
Emery’s Villa now have a roster of international caliber players, and their project is becoming increasingly interesting.
Konsa is now adapting to a different centre-back partner for much of this season.
Owing to the injury to Tyrone Mings, Pau Torres now looks to be a stalwart of this Aston Villa team.
And Villa’s summer recruitment is already paying off.
Moussa Diaby appears to be a wise acquisition, as does Nicolo Zaniolo on loan.
This season, the pair should give lots of excitement for Villa supporters, as well as plenty of end product.
Furthermore, Emery is only able to bring in so many new players due of the solid basis that Konsa provides.
And as Wright protests, Villa’s £12m Konsa wouldn’t look out of place performing a similarly consistent role for England.
