Konsa joined Brentford from Charlton in 2018
Aston Villa are set to sign Brentford defender Ezri Konsa in a £12m deal.
The 21-year-old has been a key target for Villa boss Dean Smith, who managed the England Under-21 centre-back when he was in charge of Brentford.
Konsa joined Brentford from Charlton in 2018 and played 47 times for the Bees.
Villa are keen to strengthen in defence after signing Tyrone Mings, 26, from Bournemouth and are still exploring the possibility of re-signing Manchester United's Axel Tuanzebe, 21, on loan.
Tuanzebe helped Villa to promotion back to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs.
Since promotion, Villa have signed Mings for £20m, defender Kortney Hause from Wolves, winger Anwar El Ghazi from Lille, left-back Matt Targett from Southampton, forward Wesley from Club Brugge and midfielder Jota from Birmingham.
Smith's side start their Premier League season away at Tottenham on 10 August.
