Aston Villa attacking midfielder Jack Grealish has responded to Ben White’s post on Instagram following his move to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, and so has Wolverhampton Wanderers central defender Conor Coady.
What’s the story?
Arsenal have announced on their official website today that they have signed former Leeds United loanee White from Brighton and Hove Albion.
The 23-year-old central defender has put pen to paper on a long-term contract.
Instant reactions
Villa attacking midfielder Grealish and Wolves central defender Coady play with White for England.
All three players were part of the England squad that reached the Euro 2020 final this summer.
Both Grealish and Coady are pleased for White, as shown below.
Good signing for Arsenal?
White, who can also play as a right-back or in midfield, has done well over the past two seasons.
The England international helped Leeds win promotion from the Championship at the end of the 2019-20 season.
The youngster then played his part in keeping Brighton in the Premier League last season.
White is a very good and dynamic defender who can play out from the back, makes timely tackles and challenges, and, given that he is only 23, is going to improve and develop in the coming years.
