Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has given his seal of approval for Tottenham to land Ezri Konsa, following previous comments made by the Sky Sports pundit.
The Aston Villa man has caught the eye in the Premier League since joining the club in 2019 from Brentford, forming a formidable partnership alongside Tyrone Mings.
Konsa is now pushing to follow his defensive partner and Villa captain Jack Grealish into Gareth Southgate's England squad.
His performances have not gone unnoticed by Premier League sides, with the Athletic reporting that Tottenham and Liverpool are targeting a move.
That could see the 23-year-old drafted in to improve Spurs' defensive ranks and Carragher, speaking last month, has shared his thoughts on a prospective transfer.
“I really feared for them last season because I thought they were going to go down really,” Carragher said.
“When they came back at the end of last season, it was like a completely different team, a different type of organisation and a lot stronger defensively.
“I am a massive fan of Konsa at the back, alongside Mings, he gets a lot of the attention. But I think since he has come in, they have looked a lot more solid.”
Villa paid £12m for Konsa when they signed him from Brentford 18 months ago and negotiations for an extension may be opened by the club, with his current deal due to expire in 2023.
