Arsenal Negotiates with Bayer Leverkusen for Defender Jarell Quansah

Arsenal is currently in negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen to acquire defender Jarell Quansah, as the team seeks to bolster its defensive lineup amid injuries to Jurrien Timber and William Saliba.

Quansah, who transferred to Leverkusen from Liverpool last season for £35 million, has made a significant impact in the Bundesliga and was part of Thomas Tuchel's England World Cup squad this summer. He has returned to Leverkusen after a break following the tournament.

Leverkusen is reportedly reluctant to sell Quansah, given his strong performances and adaptability. Arsenal may need to offer more than the £30 million initially paid to secure his transfer, especially with four years left on his contract.
