Liverpool and Tottenham are both interested in Aston Villa centre-back Ezri Konsa, according to reports.
The 23-year-old is enjoying an excellent season at Villa Park as Dean Smith’s side battle for European qualification.
Smith’s men have been defensively solid this campaign, having conceded just 24 goals in 22 matches.
Villa have also kept 12 clean sheets, which is again second only to Pep Guardiola’s table-toppers.
Konsa has played a big part in his team’s resolve and his efforts have not gone unnoticed.
Villa paid just £12m to bring the defender to the West Midlands in 2019 but his value has increased since then.
Konsa has played for England’s Under-20s and Under-21s, but he also qualifies for DR Congo, Angola and Portugal.
The latter are said to be monitoring the defender, which could force Gareth Southgate’s hand.
Konsa has yet to play for his country of birth at senior level and is an outsider to earn a place in England’s squad for this summer’s European Championship.
