Everton turn attention to Ben White deal

Everton are eyeing a move for Arsenal defender Ben White to solve their problematic right-back issue, sources have told Football Insider.

The Merseysiders are keeping close tabs on the England international, 28, and are open to a deal this month.

That could be difficult to pull off, as Arsenal are likely to be resistant to selling a senior player mid-season, even though White has made only four Premier League starts among his 12 appearances this term.

White has a contract at Arsenal that runs until the summer of 2028, and includes the option of a further 12 months.

White joined Arsenal from Brighton in 2021, and he has gone on to appear 172 times for the club so far over the last four-and-a-half seasons.
