Bayer Leverkusen's Jarell Quansah and Aston Villa's Ezri Konsa

We asked you who would be the best fit for Arsenal out of Bayer Leverkusen's Jarell Quansah and Aston Villa's Ezri Konsa, with the Gunners linked to both centre-backs in recent days.

Here are some of your thoughts:

Neil: Quansah is the obvious choice over Konsa, because he is essentially a like-for-like replacement for William Saliba rather than a quick fix. He is the same height as Saliba, giving him that same aerial presence and comfort bringing the ball out under pressure - both are things Arsenal's set-up depends on. Konsa, at 28 years old and costing £60m, doesn't offer much beyond the short-term. Quansah, at 23 years old, has the upside to fill the gap immediately and still be a top-tier squad option for years to come.

Ian: If at all possible, get them both in! They are very accomplished defenders who can play anywhere across the back four. If it's doable, then it's a no-brainer for me!

Saleem: I would go for Quansah. He is younger, cheaper, still has Premier League experience and he can develop and improve further. But I would also be happy with Konsa.

Owen: Quansah is potentially less reliable than Konsa, but I would definitely rather have him because of his potential. I don't want a signing until January, but Quansah provides more versatility and future prospects.

Rico: I'd prefer Barcelona's Jules Kounde to Konsa. Kounde is a natural right-back as well as a centre-back, so when Saliba is out he can cover there and when Jurrien Timber is out he can cover there as well.
