Ben White is now officially an Arsenal player. After several leaks about the deal with Brighton -even the price of the deal was known: 50 million pounds-, the 'Gunners' confirmed in an official statement the arrival of the defender. He posed with Mikel Arteta as a gesture of confirmation.
The young player has signed a five-season contract until June 2026. He is therefore making a long-term commitment to a club where he is expected to take a step towards becoming one of the best in the Premier League. His recent meteoric progression has been the endorsement of this trip to London.
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal had started the pre-season in doubt but beat Watford 4-1 on 28th July, undoubtedly the Gunners' best game of the season. Ben White could make his debut on 1st August in another friendly against Chelsea.
