Ezri Ngoyo Konsa is a rising star in English football, known for his versatility as both a centre-back and right-back. Born on 23 October 1997 in Newham, Greater London, Konsa's journey from a young boy supporting Tottenham Hotspur F.C. to a professional at Aston Villa exemplifies dedication and talent. With roots tracing back to the DR Congo and Angola, Konsa's diverse background complements his dynamic playing style.
Starting his career at Senrab, Konsa joined the Charlton Athletic academy at the age of 11. He quickly made an impression and signed a professional contract in December 2015. Despite a challenging start with the first team, due to Charlton's relegation to League One, Konsa persevered and broke into the squad during pre-season in 2016. He made his professional debut on 9 August 2016 in an EFL Cup match against Cheltenham Town, and his performances soon earned him a regular spot in the team. Over three seasons with Charlton, he made 86 appearances, showcasing his defensive prowess and solidifying his reputation as a promising young talent.
In 2018, Konsa made a significant move to Brentford, where he continued to develop his skills and contributed effectively to the team's defensive line. His time at Brentford was marked by 46 appearances and one goal, further establishing him as a reliable defender. The following year, he took a step up to the Premier League, signing with Aston Villa. Since joining the club in 2019, Konsa has been an integral part of the squad, although his total appearances are yet to be fully documented.
On the international stage, Konsa has represented England at various youth levels, winning the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2017 and the Toulon Tournament in 2018 with the under-21 team. His hard work paid off when he made his senior debut for the England national team in March 2024. With key accolades like being named his club's Young Player of the Year and a strong foundation built from his youth career, Konsa is poised for a bright future in both club and international football.
