Ezri Konsa has signed a new five-year contract with Aston Villa on the eve of their clash with Legia Warsaw.
Mail Sport revealed on September 19 that Konsa was in line for a new deal and the announcement was made 24 hours later as Villa prepared to open their Europa Conference League campaign in the Polish capital.
Konsa last extended his deal with Villa two years ago, with that arrangement running until summer 2026.
But these fresh terms are a sign of the progress Konsa has made and he moves closer to Villa’s top pay bracket, occupied by senior stars like Emiliano Martinez, Tyrone Mings and Moussa Diaby.
