Arsenal has started the tracking process to incorporate Jarell Quansah, a 23-year-old central defender from Leverkusen, in this summer transfer market. It is the new request from Mikel Arteta.

The leadership of the London club is evaluating the signing of the English international due to William Saliba's extended absence because of a back injury, in an operation conditioned to the German club's refusal after the expiration of the €70 million (59 million pounds) buy-back clause Liverpool held.

The situation at Leverkusen and Jarell Quansah's profile

Leverkusen signed the defender in the summer of 2025 from Liverpool, playing 44 games and scoring 5 goals in a season where the German team conceded 49 goals in 34 Bundesliga matches. Following the expiration of the €70 million buy-back option, the German board faces no contractual pressure to sell the player, who is under contract with coach Carles Martínez Novell.

The 6-time England international has participated in 3 games at the 2026 World Cup and is known for his 1.90 meters height for aerial play. Additionally, his versatility to play as a central defender and right-back fits the criteria set by Mikel Arteta, adding composure in ball distribution after his spell of 58 games and 3 goals with Liverpool.

The Arsenal board's alternatives amid market demands

The interest in Quansah arises simultaneously with negotiations for Ezri Konsa, a 28-year-old center-back from Aston Villa, where there is an economic disparity between the parties. Previously, Arsenal's board explored Cristian Romero's path, but Tottenham declined to engage in talks with the North London club.

The 23-year-old player is open to considering a move to the Emirates Stadium if discussions progress between clubs. Despite Leverkusen's desire to retain their player for the 2026/2027 season, the British necessity to fill Saliba's void may prompt formal negotiation initiation.

Arsenal will decide by August 18, 2026, whether to make an initial offer for Quansah or intensify talks for Konsa. Should negotiations open with Leverkusen, the English board must present a proposal exceeding €50 million to persuade the German club to authorize the defender's departure.
