Some Arsenal fans have spotted transfer activity on Twitter, amid claims that Ben White is set to join imminently.
Sky Sports News reported that White underwent a medical on Wednesday ahead of a £50 million move from Brighton & Hove Albion.
And yesterday, a photo of a blacked-out Range Rover leaving London Colney emerged on Twitter and was quoted tweeted by Football London journalist Chris Wheatley, who wrote ‘soon’ in response to the image.
White to Arsenal is thought to have been pretty much a done deal for a lot of the summer but the longer the delay, the more chance of it going belly up.
The Daily Mail reported last Saturday that an announcement was ‘imminent’.
Here’s how Arsenal fans on Twitter reacted to the possibility that it was him leaving the club’s training ground yesterday:
Asap
This needs to get done.
Arsenal kick off their new Premier League season against Brentford in three weeks and the sooner this deal is completed, the sooner Edu and Mikel Arteta can focus on other additions.
This, when it’s done, will only be the Gunners’ third signing of the summer.
Last season, it was a lack of scoring goals that hurt Arteta’s side but the Emirates Stadium side haven’t signed a single attacking player as of yet.
White will follow left-back Nuno Tavares and defensive midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga to North London.
