Brighton will fend off interest in England new boy Ben White by placing a £50million valuation on the defender. The centre back has gatecrashed the Euro squad, with head coach Gareth Southgate confirming on Monday that White would replace Trent Alexander-Arnold in his 26-man party. The call-up builds on White’s impressive first season in the Premier League, which has attracted interest from Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. Indeed, Brighton may even look to cement White’s future by offering him a new contract on his return from the Euros. White, who has been supported tirelessly by his family during his career, said he was ‘beyond proud and honoured’ to be named in the England squad on Monday.
