News about Ben White

GRAEME SOUNESS: We are witnessing a stealthy, very deliberate, strategy from Arsenal - and White (right) in particular - to obstruct goalkeepers in a way which will avoid detection by the referees. There's none of that ridiculous jostling in the penalty box, prior to the ball being kicked, which draws attention to the offender. Instead, White goes about his business quietly - not engaging with goalkeeper until the ball is kicked, at which point the referee's focus is somewhere else.

ISAAN KHAN: Being the partner of a footballer can spring up certain assumptions. Salacious gossip, a hunger for the public eye and extravagant opulence are some. Yet, when a video of Martin Odegaard's girlfriend Helene Spilling celebrating Arsenal's 5-0 thumping of Chelsea to Shakira's 'Waka Waka' in the Emirates stands last week went viral on social media, it was a microcosm of a culture created by Mikel Arteta at Arsenal. A culture that has brought the families of his players on board his team's ambitions.

The pathway to three points in a tense north London derby against rivals Tottenham was unlocked on 15 minutes, Bukayo Saka's corner-kick swung into the near post area with Takehiro Tomiyasu ready to head it goalward. The expectation for the cross to land in the mix caused Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to panic. He headed the ball into his own net.

The Brazil international (left), who has emerged as one of the leaders of the Gunners title charge, only signed a new contract in October 2022 - but the club have moved to reward him with fresh terms.

But initial discussions have been described as positive and will continue in the coming weeks.

Ben White's agent (inset) has hit back at critics of the Arsenal star (left) and says 'no-one knows what's going on in his life'.

Former Tottenham boss Redknapp branded White's decision to make himself unavailable for national team selection as 'disgusting' and said the Arsenal right-back shouldn't be considered for a call-up ever again.

A commentator for Chelsea's official website begged for the referee to blow the final whistle after just 65 minutes of last night's 5-0 thrashing by Arsenal.
