It’s always crucial to never really believe that a transfer is completed until a club formally announces the deal, but there was a widespread belief that Brighton star Ben White would be an Arsenal player next season.
There had been plenty of talk about the move, he would fit a position of need and he’s a young talent that they could build around for years, so this really could be the nightmare scenario for the Gunners if Everton get their way:
Everton are trying to gazump Arsenal in the race to sign Ben White after holding talks with Brighton over a £50m move for England defender… with club moving quickly in the transfer market after Rafa Benitez's appointment. [@MailSport] https://t.co/WYyH3Gf953

The report claims that Brighton want around £50m to let him go but Everton have offered more money than Arsenal and it’s also claimed that the player could be interested.
They do state that White was keen to move to Arsenal so hope isn’t lost here for the Gunners, but the problem is that it’s suggested that Rafa Benitez has really pushed to make White his first major signing and he’s impressed with the effort that’s been made to get him on board.
There are several moving parts here as some of Everton’s bid would be spread over a few years and there would be add-ons so Arsenal could still manage to complete the signing, but there’s clear competition for his signature and you know a large section of the support will be furious if they miss out.
Why does my team Arsenal take so long to buy players according to reports everything has been agreed we want the player, as I have heard his team Brighton and Hove Albion want to sell for that money, what is holding things up come on Arsenal. You are one of the richest clubs in the top ten just pay the money.
I don’t no what happend to edu and arteta,over this ben white issue,sins this transfer summer was stated.
Most probably Kroenke want Edu to clear out the excess baggages including your training cone collector mngr before getting any new transfers in! Lmfao🤣😂🤣
Arsenal will never learn a lesson. Each year, rumours about buying good players will always surface, but will never be fulfilled. Sometimes i feel like withdrawing from being an Arsenal fun
chill out man!!!..
Ben White is away with the England team. these things take time.
it’s not like going into Tesco and buying a packet of sausages : )
Arsenal want us to say they are poor and yet they are among top ten richest clubs in the world
Whats happening to Arteta/Edu? If you have truly spotted a player yopu want, why the delay in buying? this habit has made AFC loss alot of giften talents, since the time of AW. Stop doing things same way and expecting results differently, pls.
I don’t know why Arsenal are like this always talking but not doing
Arsenal have been spreading rumors upon rumors yet no action. A term like Noriche act quickly, to take a advantage of slowly Arsenal.Gunner common wake up
