Liverpool, Man Utd & Chelsea hold firm interest in signing star Arsenal are keen to keep | OneFootball

Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea are reportedly all keeping a close eye on the situation of Arsenal defender Ben White ahead of this summer.

The England international’s Emirates Stadium future looks in major doubt after a lot less playing time with the Gunners this season and last.

As we recently reported, Arsenal are looking at options to replace White, who has suitors around Europe, though there’s now been another update.

According to TEAMtalk, White is also being eyed by Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea, and Everton, though they also state that Arsenal would ideally prefer to keep the player.

Should Arsenal keep Ben White?

White has been a top performer for Arsenal in recent years, performing at a high level whether asked to fill in at centre-back or right-back.

There’s surely a lot of value in keeping the 28-year-old around for a bit longer, as he still looks good enough to rotate with Jurrien Timber in that right-back spot.

Still, TEAMtalk suggest White is keen to play more, and specifically to play more as a central defender, so that might mean leaving AFC works better for him.

Ben White transfer looks tempting for big clubs

It’s not too surprising to see that big clubs are still keen on White, even if he’s not getting any younger and hasn’t played as much in the last year or so.

Liverpool would surely benefit from bringing in someone of his versatility and experience to give them more options at the back after Jeremie Frimpong’s disappointing form and with Ibrahima Konate nearing the end of his contract.

United, meanwhile, would probably see White as an upgrade on Diogo Dalot on the right-hand side of their defence, while Chelsea might benefit from adding more experience to their youthful squad.

Arsenal will likely try to avoid selling White to a club they perceive as a potential title rival, so that could benefit Everton and any other suitors that emerge.
