According to reports, Arsenal have \u2018reluctantly\u2019 decided to sell England international Ben White and have \u2018five options\u2019 to replace him.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old joined Arsenal<\/strong> from Premier League rivals Brighton in 2021 for around \u00a350m and has made 181 appearances for the north London outfit across all competitions.<\/p>\n White<\/strong> has done very little wrong at Arsenal, though he has slipped in the pecking order following the arrival of Jurrien Timber, who has established himself as Mikel Arteta\u2019s No.1 right-back.<\/p>\n Timber is simply at another level and he has justified Arteta\u2019s brutal decision to upgrade White, who now looks increasingly likely to leave the Premier League leaders in the coming months.<\/p>\n White has been recalled to the England squad for this month\u2019s international break, but this is somewhat fortunate as he has only made seven Premier League appearances this season.<\/p>\n READ: Kvaratskhelia must slam shut \u2018open\u2019 door from PSG to Arsenal to avoid fun sponge Arteta It was reported in January that a loan move to Everton was on the cards, and this ultimately did not come to fruition, but he is expected to depart in the summer.<\/p>\n This is according to journalist Graeme Bailey for our colleagues at TEAMtalk<\/em>who has reported that Arsenal have \u2018reluctantly\u2019 opted to \u2018open the door\u2019 to selling White this summer.<\/p>\n Arsenal are said to be \u2018huge admirers\u2019 of White and \u2018would ideally like to keep him\u2019, but there is an \u2018acceptance internally\u2019 that a move would be best for all parties and they will let him go if a \u2018sizable fee comes their way\u2019.<\/p>\n The same report claims Arsenal have already drawn up a list of \u2018five options\u2019 to replace White.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Salah among the greatest transfer Plan Bs that actually worked out, including Manchester United icons Regarding the candidates to replace White, TEAMtalk reported:<\/p>\n \u2018Firstly, we exclusively revealed back in February that 21-year-old Spanish star Ivan Fresneda is very much a player admired by the Gunners. In addition, TEAMtalk was also recently able to reveal that Wesley Franca has emerged as a potential target after an outstanding season with Roma.<\/p>\n \u2018But we can reveal they do have other options under consideration, with Tino Livramento (Newcastle), Nnamdi Collins (Eintracht Frankfurt) and Vanderson (Monaco) also seen as players of interest.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Regarding White, it remains to be seen where he will go next, but ex-Arsenal star Bacary Sagna has warned him against moving to the MLS.<\/p>\n \u201cBen White is too young to transfer to MLS,\u201d Sagna told soccer betting.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s still only 28 and he should keep playing at the elite level for at least another few years before even considering a move to MLS; I wouldn\u2019t recommend it to players younger than 30. He\u2019s playing football at Arsenal, one of the best clubs in the world, and will have more opportunities in Europe to win the biggest trophies in the game.<\/p>\n \u201cWhite has also just been re-called to Thomas Tuchel\u2019s England squad, so he should stay with Arsenal to keep his international career alive too.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Ranking replacements for the 25 best forwards in Premier League history <\/div>\n
