Ben White announcement imminent as Brighton defender arrives at Arsenal to complete deal
Arsenal agree White deal
Arsenal have already agreed a deal in principle for Ben White to join the club from Brighton.
The reported figure reaches up to a startling 50 million-pounds. Brighton have done very well to get this amount considering the fact that Ben White was not one of their two best centre backs last season.
🚨 Arsenal have struck an agreement in principle to sign England centre-back Ben White from Brighton. Deal for 23yo subject to medical & will take some time to be completed. #BHAFC always wanted guaranteed £50m @TheAthleticUK 1st reported @TomBarclay_ #AFC https://t.co/hZzxa6rRJu

Both Lewis Dunk and Adam Webster have been stalwarts under Graham Potter with White effectively being the third man and cover in the right-back and defensive midfield positions when need be.
However, White is thought very highly of, with The Athletic’s Brighton correspondent Andy Naylor confident he will become a key starter in Gareth Southgate’s England squad when speaking with The Gooner Talk.
White arrives at Colney
Arsenal fans have been patient in waiting for an announcement of White.
Having been with the England squad for their Euro 2020 run, he was allowed an extended period away for a holiday.
However, it has been revealed he arrived at London Colney today to complete the move.

A medical will have taken place, photos taken, interviews done in the shirt and then an announcement on the Arsenal website and social feeds will follow.
White will then take part in full training and get up to match fitness. It would be surprising if he starts the new season having had the extended break.
Bukayo Saka has also been on holiday but with White’s arrival, it also signals the 19-year-old’s imminent return to the club too.
