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. 

This season, Konsa lost his regular partner Tyrone Mings to a serious knee injury in the club’s opening day defeat at Newcastle, and is now building an understanding in the middle with summer signing Pau Torres.

Former Villa boss Dean Smith was in charge when Konsa joined from Brentford and he is baffled that the 25-year-old has yet to earn an international call.

He told the BBC: ‘I am amazed he is not playing for England yet. He is a Rolls Royce of a player. He made a big mistake against Newcastle for the second goal, but he has recovered from that. He is a top player.

‘I don’t know why he isn’t being picked. He’s one of the standouts. Steven Gerrard came in after me and kept playing him.

‘They have brought in centre-halves since then and Unai keeps playing him as well. That’s a sign he is rated.’

IT’S ALL KICKING OFF! 

It’s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.
