Troy Deeney named Ezri Konsa in his Team of the Week, according to Just Arsenal News, after Konsa's strong performance against Everton, where he scored a goal and played a key defensive role in Arsenal's win. Deeney praised Konsa for being 'absolutely solid' and doing his job 'effectively well'. Konsa's form has made it challenging for William Saliba to automatically regain his place in the team when he is fit again.
Konsa's partnership with James Hill at centre-back was highlighted by Deeney on the BBC, where he noted that both players are 'just proper defenders who defend' and are not known for their 'theatrics'. Deeney also commended Hill for making tackles, showing appreciation for the defensive solidity both players brought to the game.
Konsa's impressive performances have made him a key player for Arsenal, and his consistency is a significant factor in his growing reputation. The return of William Saliba is expected to create competition, but Konsa's current form means he won't be dropped easily, contributing to Arsenal's defensive depth and strength.

Source context
Ezri Konsa was immense for Arsenal at the weekend as he continues to make it hard for William Saliba to get his place back on the Arsenal team automatically when he is fit again. Konsa has been one of the best defenders in England over the last few seasons, and Arsenal had to add him to their squad as they believed he was ready. After he won the Europa League last season, it was almost certain he would leave Aston Villa, so if Arsenal did not sign him, he could have moved to another top club.
