Everton showing strong interest in Arsenal star Ben White | OneFootball

Everton are showing strong interest in signing Arsenal defender Ben White ahead of the summer transfer window.

Other clubs have reportedly enquired about the 28-year-old, but the Toffees are leading the race.

Everton manager David Moyes is keen to strengthen at the back, and the versatile Gunners star fits the bill.

While White is primarily a right-back, he can also play as a centre-back and defensive midfielder.

Arsenal are already looking for a replacement. They have been linked with Newcastle United full-back Tino Livramento and Bournemouth’s Alex Jiminez.

White will have options to move on, having lost his place in the Arsenal starting XI in recent seasons.

A move to Everton could appeal to the England international, and qualifying for Europe could help boost their chances.

The Blues are eighth in the Premier League table heading into the final seven fixtures.

However, only three points separate them from fifth-place Liverpool, and a strong finish to the season could secure continental football for next term.

Signing White would be huge for Everton, and similar recruitment in the summer could get them challenging for major silverware.
