Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa is being tracked by Liverpool and Tottenham.

The Athletic reports Villa are hoping to extend Konsa's current deal beyond 2023 with deflated Premier League champions Liverpool believed to be monitoring the defender.

Jurgen Klopp's side have been short of defenders this season following the injuries of Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip, but added two centre backs in Ozan Kobak and Ben Davies to their ranks before the close of the January transfer window.

The same report outlines that Tottenham have had a longstanding interest in the 23-year-old, with Konsa reportedly an option when Toby Alderweireld's £25m clause was active in the summer of 2019.

Klopp and Spurs boss Jose Mourinho are looking to bolster their defensive ranks next summer, with Villa eager to tie their man down to extended terms to stave off interest.
