Ezri Konsa delivered another assured performance for Arsenal last night as the Gunners beat Napoli in the Champions League at the home of the Italian side.Starting alongside Gabriel at the heart of Arsenal’s defence, the Englishman delivered an assured performance against the Italians, and he has made fans forget that William Saliba has not played for Arsenal this season.Arsenal focused on signing quality players in the last window, as they already have one of the strongest squads in European football and have to be careful about who they bring in now.They signed Konsa after he won the Europa League at Aston Villa and helped England reach the semi-final of the World Cup, and he has been incredible for their team.The defender is one of the finest in the Premier League and did not look out of place on his debut for the Gunners in Europe, producing an impressive display in Naples.Konsa makes an immediate impressionKonsa looked comfortable alongside Gabriel throughout the match, providing Arsenal with another assured option in central defence.His physical presence and pace were particularly important against Napoli, while his performance suggested that Arsenal have strengthened an already impressive squad with a defender capable of competing at the highest level.As reported by Standard Sport, the defender received a 9/10 rating for his performance in the match, with the publication adding:“What a signing. Dominant physically, bullying Hojlund all night, and had the pace to cover across the back line too. Looked a threat in the Napoli box as well.”(Photo by Ryan Pierse/Getty Images)Defender earns further praiseThe assessment highlights the qualities Konsa brought to the Arsenal defence, particularly his physical strength, pace and ability to cover across the back line.His performance also offered encouragement to the Gunners, who will need their strongest players to remain consistent as they compete in Europe and domestically.Konsa has made an excellent first impression in European competition, and his display against Napoli will give Arsenal further confidence in their decision to bring him into the squad._____________________________________________________________________________________________ADMIN COMMENTSo here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans.
