Ben White has signed a new contract at Arsenal as the defender admits it is 바카라śunbelievable바카라ť to have found his home at the Emirates Stadium. (More Football News)
The 26-year-old has agreed a new four-year deal, with the option for a further 12 months in north London, the PA news agency understands.
White has been a vital part of Mikel Arteta바카라™s side as they sit top of the Premier League and prepare for a first Champions League quarter-final appearance in 14 years.
He featured in every Premier League game last season as Arsenal were pipped at the post by treble-winners Manchester City but has further impressed in his role at right-back this campaign.
Having come through the ranks at Brighton, White spent three seasons out on loan 바카라“ with Newport, Peterborough and Leeds, respectively, as he gradually made his way up the leagues.
He then spent a solitary season in the Brighton first-team before impressing Arsenal enough that the Gunners forked out ÂŁ50million to sign him in the summer of 2021.
Asked if Arsenal now feels like home, White replied: 바카라śI have been on loan three times, I have been places for a year.
바카라śI think this is the first time I바카라™ve actually settled and known I am not going anywhere in the summer. Being here is unbelievable and I바카라™d love to stay (for more years).바카라ť
White has earned four senior England caps since his move to Arsenal, but has not been part of Gareth Southgate바카라™s plans since an early departure from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
At club level, though, he is the latest in a growing list of Arteta바카라™s key men to commit their futures to the Spaniard바카라™s project.
He follows in the footsteps of Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard, who extended their deals last year, while Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli, Reiss Nelson and William Saliba have also signed new contracts in the past 18 months.
바카라śI think when those sort of players are getting signed (to new deals), it shows there is a real ambition about the club and it is something I am loving being a part of,바카라ť White added.
바카라śI think if you do look at their ages, it바카라™s going to get better. Day to day it is shown how important this club is and how important it is to do the little things right and get the results that we need.바카라ť
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta told the club바카라™s official website: 바카라śIt바카라™s great news that Ben is committing his future to the club.
바카라śBen is a key player for us, a top professional with a winning mentality, and one of the guys who leads by example every day.
바카라śBen바카라™s ability, determination and positive attitude are so important, but he is also a great character and human being.
바카라śWe all look forward to continue working with Ben in the coming years.바카라ť
