Ben White set for Arsenal medical

Brighton and Hove Albion defender Ben White is set to undergo his medical ahead of the proposed move to Arsenal on Wednesday, according to .

The 23-year-old caught the attention of the wider football public with fine performances on loan with Leeds United in the Championship in 2019-20, as Marcelo Bielsa s team strode towards the subsequent Premier League promotion. Leeds were very keen on making the switch permanent last year, but Brighton knocked their efforts back, judging rightly that the player s stock would only rise with time.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is thought to be keen on adding a centre-back who can start attacks from the back, having lost the services of David Luiz at the end of last season. The agreement between the two clubs is set at £50 million and includes a sell-on clause as well. Arsenal previously had two bids rejected, one of £40m, the other £47m, before finally agreeing to Brighton s terms.
