ARSENAL FC ON THE BRINK OF SIGNING BEN WHITE FROM BRIGHTON & HOVE

Arsenal have now agreed a £50m deal for the transfer of highly rated Brighton & Hove Albion defender, Ben White. White who was a late call-up to Gareth Southgate’s England Euro 2020 squad.

The 23 year old was released by Southampton as a youngster before being signed by Brighton. He went on a number of loans from the Seagulls, including to Leeds’ Championship title-winning side in 2019-20.

White’s performances for Leeds attracted the attention of many leading clubs and prompted Brighton to secure him on a new four-year contract last summer.

That deal put the Seagulls in a strong negotiating position this summer and it is understood they rejected two bids from the Gunners before agreement was finally reached amid interest from other Premier League clubs.
