    🚨 Arsenal showing an interest in Bayer Leverkusen defender Jarell Quansah, as @RobDorsettSky called. Leverkusen wish to keep. Liverpool's €70m buy-back option has expired. Ezri Konsa remains an option but Aston Villa's £60m+ valuation still an issue. Arsenal also appreciate https://t.co/gKGcdthyJa
