The Sun have provided an update on Arsenal’s pursuit of Brighton defender Ben White.
White, who is currently competing in Euro 2020 with England, having been drafted in following an injury to Trent Alexander-Arnold, is thought to be of interest to Arsenal.
As per The Sun, Arsenal have offered £42M plus add-ons in exchange for White, a deal which totalled around £45M. However, it’s not enough to convince them to sell.
Brighton had to fight to remain in the Premier League last season. Graham Potter will be keenly aware of White’s importance to the cause throughout the campaign.
That’s not to suggest that Brighton will resist the temptation to cash-in, though, rather, it’ll be on their terms, or so is suggested in the report by The Sun.
It’s claimed that Brighton will hold out for £50M plus add-ons, which remains a little way off what Arsenal are offering at current, but it’s not an insurmountable figure.
We’ll have to wait and see if the two parties can reach an agreement somewhere in the middle. At current, it’s hard to imagine White staying at the Amex beyond this summer.

Do we need to invest 50Mhim with all quality WE have at CBs? Unless we sign a beast with experience as koulibali, this seems useless,Holding Chambers, Gabriel, Mari, Saliba are all quality, adding one unless a beast seems useless.
Just as selling Bellerin to a top club and sign a relegated player instead…WE have back up for Bellerin.
I’d rather see a top playmaker come in for Rowe to compete, and of course a back up for Tierny.
Arteta & Edu do not know what they do…
Bellerin IS in prime years, did not lose his football nor Auba but the way they are played make them less involves.
If you play Pepe not defending, Bellerin has 2 players to deal with all game long, simply not able to run forward and add danger as his game supposed to.
Try play Suarez or Lewondovski as a LW and they won’t score just as Auba. They would not even accept to do so…
Arteta is bossing top players with experience, but has none…Acting & dressing as Guardiola doesnt change facts.
We love him as our old captain but he IS an Everton man, and does not respect AFC, or he will not take such a job with zéro expérience, risk club, bring it to his midtable level two years in a Roll with no Europe football.
Why everyone else go learn elsewhere and not Arteta?
To expect more IS not realistic, WE been 9-12 spot most Season… These are facts we are forced with, therefore if Arteta leaves for more failure, Edu who keeps him there must assume and leave.
It seems unreal to have Luis Campos available and not jump on him, just as it was to not sign Tuchel seating at 12th spot, while Chelsea doing way better replaced Lampard, to win CL!
The best coach in EPL IS Bielsa, Guardiola and others admit it, he stated that with a better squad (as us), he will win all trophies
Losing Wenger, WE need experience, tac tic and a good football he proposes, pressing high, harrassing opponent.
I Guess, we on a New Season with ArtEdu mess .. what Can WE do Beside accept what these two impose? Just as players, we are forced to accept that non sense.
Misplaced priority,arsenal should not buy a player who is not even better than saliva or holding.hey should use the money to buy a creative midfielder or a goalscoring winger.
The current arsenal not the previous arsenal since we lost our only trusted coach ARSENE WENGER and to make matter worse the club is not even near to be seen in top four, and I wonder how comes a big club like arsenal which had dominant football history, is now nowhere to be seen, kronke should stop playing softball in the club, I, personally i’m a conner fun and I speak in pain due to arsenal poor performance, and if we want to go back where we we’re before then the club needs an experience coach who can transform arsenal where they were,otherwise we might even relegated in coming season, if i’m told the club doesn’t want to spend the big money on the quality players, otherwise i’m a conner fan and loves the club most, and i’m gonna die as arsenal fan, and my tears and my blood is made of GOONER
