Arsenal have agreed to sign England defender Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa in a deal worth at least £50 million ($68 million), according to reports on Wednesday.

Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo says his team need to “gang around the referee” more often after their penalty shout in the World Cup group game against England went unreviewed.

Newcastle got a worrying glimpse of life without Alexander Isak as they were held to a 0-0 draw in their Premier League opener at Aston Villa despite Ezri Konsa's dismissal.
