Following the announcement that Arsenal has signed defender Ben White from Brighton and Hove Albion, in a deal worth £50m, the centre-back’s old teammate Yves Bissouma was quick to offer his support to the Englishman.
White, 23, has officially become Mikel Arteta’s most expensive signing so far this summer.
Rumoured to be making the switch from the south coast to London, it has been reported that Graham Potter’s men will pocket a whopping £50m in exchange for the England international’s services.

Despite being one player not expected to secure a transfer this summer, Bissouma, 24, has also found himself heavily linked with joining Arsenal in the past.
According to a report from 90min earlier this summer, the Gunners are interested in the Mali midfielder.
Reacting to the industrious midfielder’s recent message of support as well as the links that have already been made for the player to join the Gunners, some Arsenal fans have been quick to take to their social media to weigh in.

He wants to come la, but edu and Arteta no open that file. I don’t think they’ll, once Xhaka extend his contract.
