More infoBrighton and Hove Albion defender Ben White will rubber-stamp his long-awaited move to Arsenal this weekend, with the 23-year-old arriving in London to complete his medical, according to reports. Arsenal limped to an eighth-placed finish in the Premier League last time around, missing out on European qualification for the first time in 25 years. Arsenal reportedly saw two bids rejected earlier this month, with an initial £40m offer followed up by an equally unsuccessful £47m proposal. White featured heavily for Brighton last season, playing in all but two Premier League matches as the Seagulls retained their top-flight status once again. However, former Premier League full-back Danny Mills recently suggested that White is too good for Arsenal, highlighting the club's inability to challenge the best sides in the division as of late.
