With Ben White’s capture by Arsenal done and dusted, the England international can get down to business, and he’s already been surprised by the talents of one of his new team-mates.
The former Brighton and Hove Albion centre-back has taken a step up at club level, and that can only enhance his international prospects, particularly if he anchors the Gunners to the success that deserted them throughout the 2020/21 campaign.
At £50m, he hasn’t come cheap, though if he lives up to his billing, that fee will soon seem cheap by comparison.
Though he didn’t play at Euro 2020, the 23-year-old can look forward to an extended run in Gareth Southgate’s set-up if he gets it right.
