Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has raved about his Gunners teammate Ben White on talkSPORT.

Ramsdale believes that White has been superb for Arsenal so far this season.

The 24-year-old has been impressed by how well White has done at right-back for Arsenal this season despite being a centre-back by trade.

The 25-year-old former Leeds United loanee has been included in the England squad for the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has deployed White at right-back this season to accommodate William Saliba in central defence.

France international central defender Saliba has established himself at the heart of the Arsenal back-line alongside Brazilian star Gabriel

It was White and Gabriel who were the two main centre-backs at Arsenal last season.

Aaron Ramsdale on Arsenal teammate Ben White

Ramsdale said about White: “He’s been really impressive. Right-back is not his main position but it’s one which he’s excelling in at the moment.

“Obviously there area few injuries there in the group at the moment and him playing so well for Arsenal has helped him.

“I’m made up for him because he shows what type of player he is… he’ll give his all in any position and dedicate himself to it as well.”

Impressive

In our view, Arsenal star Ben White has been brilliant this season, and England head coach Gareth Southgate has rightly included him in the squad for the Qatar World Cup.

We know that England have injury and form issues at right-back, so White could fill in there if need be.

The 25-year-old £93,000-a-week (SalarySport) star could also play at centre-back for the Three Lions.
