The Gunners have finally agreed a fee for the centre-back (Picture: Getty)Brighton have accepted an offer worth around £50million from Arsenal for centre-back Ben White and an official announcement is expected soon, according to reports. But Brighton were adamant it would take a massive offer to convince them to sell, having rejected an offer worth £25m from Leeds last summer. The hefty price tag represents the biggest fee Arsenal have ever spent on a defender, while only Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nicolas Pepe will have commanded bigger fees. White has already won over one of his new teammates, with Bukayo Saka having been blown away by the defender when he saw him in training with England. ‘I was impressed the most by Ben White because obviously I haven’t seen him a lot this season,’ Saka told ITV Sport during Euro 2020.
