Arsenal Has a Center Back For the Future
That's right, Arsenal announced on Thursday the renewal of Ben White, their versatile right-back/center-back, until 2028, with an option for one more year.
White joined Arsenal in 2021 from Brighton & Hove Albion for £50 million (€58 million) and has established himself as the starting right-back for the Gunners, despite initially arriving as a center-back.
The Englishman has played nearly a hundred Premier League matches and has scored four goals. He has been a regular starter for the Gunners, forming part of the team's core. Regarding the renewal announcement, the Spanish coach expressed his happiness.
"It's great news that Ben has committed his future to the club. He's a key player for us, a great professional with a winning mentality, and one of the guys who sets an example every day. His skill, determination, and positive attitude are very important, but so is his great personality, and he's a great human being," said Mikel Arteta.
