Yannick Bolasie has praised Arsenal central defender Ben White on Twitter after watching him in action against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium this past weekend.
The former Everton winger was impressed by the shift put in by the former Leeds United loanee, who is a central defender by trade but has been operating as a right-back for Arseal this season.
Bolasie has said that the 25-year-old Arsenal defender makes very good runs and is very good on the ball.
The Gunners won the Premier League game against Liverpool in North London this past weekend 3-2.
Yannick Bolasie on Arsenal defender Ben White
Gem
Ben White did extremely well for Arsenal last season and was brilliant alongside Gabriel at the heart of the Gunners’ defence.
The 25-year-old’s partnership with Gabriel was key in the Gunners challenging for the Premier League top four until the final day of the season.
And now he is excelling at right-back.
William Saliba’s form at the heart of the Arsenal defence means that the France international is now a regular alongside Gabriel.
Which means that White is being forced to play at right-back.
And the 25-year-old is doing very well.
White is a gem of a footballer, and Arsenal are a better team with him in it.
