Ezri Konsa will undergo a medical at Aston Villa ahead of a £12million move from Brentford.

Villa turned to Konsa in their search for a third centre back addition this summer, having already managed to re-sign £26.5m Tyrone Mings and £3m Kortney Hause following their loan spells last season.

They wanted to bring back Axel Tuanzebe, who also helped Villa to promotion last term, too but he has stayed with Manchester United for the time being with boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer keen to run the rule over him during United's pre-season tour.

Konsa is highly-rated and played for England Under 21s at the Euros this year

Bristol City have put a huge £30m price tag on their centre-back Adam Webster so Villa boss Dean Smith, who has already made six summer signings, turned to Konsa, 21, who he is familiar with from his time working with the youngster at Griffin Park.

Smith was the manager who brought highly-rated England Under-21 defender Konsa to Brentford from Charlton last June.

Brentford have already bolstered their defence twice as they prepare for life after Konsa.

They have brought in Pontus Jansson from Leeds and Ethan Pinnock from Barnsley.
