Comparing Ben White’s 2020-21 stats to Arsenal’s current centre-backs
After a difficult 2020-21, Arsenal will reportedly make a move for Brighton’s Ben White to bolster their defence this summer.
According to The Athletic, Arsenal are preparing a move for the centre-back but it would take at least £40millionto secure his services.
We’ve compared White’s 2020-21 Premier League stats to the corresponding league figures of Gabriel, Calum Chambers, Pablo Mari and Rob Holding, plus loanees William Saliba and Konstantinos Mavropanos.

Konstantinos Mavropanos – 2.6 (68.4%)

There is thought to be an understanding that Brighton will not prevent Ben White’s exit if the price is right. It could take a fee in the region of £40m-£50m – which is unlikely to be insurmountable for Arsenal – while personal terms should not be an issue. [@TheAthleticUK] #afc pic.twitter.com/tKBodKfxZ3
