Arsenal fans have praised Ben White for looking to cut his holiday short in order to sort out his future.

The 23-year-old is a transfer target for Arsenal, and after England duty at Euro 2020, it seems as though he wants to push a deal through to the Emirates.

Ian McGarry told the Transfer Window Podcast that White is going to take ’12 days off’ rather than the three weeks the England players have been permitted.

Arsenal fans have praised the centre-back’s mindset and they are liking what they are hearing.

If all does go to plan then White might just be part of Arsenal’s pre-season tour of the USA.

But a bid needs to be accepted for his talents first because it seems as though he is ready to sign on that dotted line.

If the North London club manage to add him to their ranks then he would instantly be a starter for Mikel Arteta.

In truth, it’s not saying much because other than Gabriel, no one else is really jumping out of the page in Arsenal’s backline.

But with his potential arrival, it allows Arteta to play a back three, flat back four or even use the ball-playing defender in the middle of the park.
