„Arsenal“ team should strengthen their defensive line in the near future with Brighton and England defender Ben White, according to „The Athletic“ journalist David Ornstein. D. Ornstein announces that the teams have agreed on a sum of 50 million pounds sterling. „Brighton“ from the very beginning of the negotiations wanted this amount for the 23-year-old defender, but the „gunners“ initially did not want to pay this amount.
