Arsenal have added Bayer Leverkusen’s Jarell Quansah to their summer transfer shortlist, according to ESPN. The Gunners are seeking a new defender ahead of the transfer window, with Quansah emerging as a key option. Quansah, who joined Leverkusen from Wolverhampton in 2023 for £35 million, has been linked with a return to England.

TalkSport reports that Arsenal are in discussions with Leverkusen over a potential deal for the 25-year-old. Quansah, who has made 38 appearances for England, is seen as a versatile option for Mikel Arteta’s squad. His potential move would mark a surprise return to the Premier League after a single season in Germany.

Meanwhile, Arsenal’s interest in Aston Villa’s Ezri Konsa remains, though the club is hesitant to meet Villa’s £60 million asking price. Quansah’s potential arrival could provide competition for the left-back position, especially with concerns over William Saliba’s injury status.

SunSport highlights Quansah’s interest in a move back to England, with Arsenal seen as a strong contender. The situation remains fluid as both clubs negotiate, with Quansah’s future hanging in the balance.
