White Career Recapped
White moved to the Emirates Stadium for £50m from Brighton on July 30, 2021. While at Brighton, he enjoyed loan spells at Newport County, Peterborough United, and Leeds United. A few months after joining Arsenal, he faced criticism regarding his performances.
Ex-Arsenal man William Gallas described his former club’s decision to pay so much for White as “Difficult” to understand. Since then, the English defender has shown his versatility to the Gunners, which has led him to the verge of signing a new deal at the Emirates.
