“Sky Sports” reports that “Arsenal” has made the first offer for 23-year-old “Brighton” center-back Ben White, which was rejected by the “Seagulls”. The proposed amount is quite impressive - 40 million pounds sterling, but “Brighton” wants more for the English defender, it is said to be around 50 million pounds sterling. It is claimed that “Arsenal” is still at the negotiating table with “Brighton” and should submit a different, more lucrative offer in the near future. Speaking of “transfers”, it is worth mentioning that they rejected a 25 million pounds sterling offer from “Aston Villa” for their young talent Emile Smith-Rowe. Meanwhile, negotiations with “AS Roma” for Granit Xhaka are ongoing, and midfielder Matteo Guendouzi is close to moving to “Marseille”, as reported by journalist Fabrizio Romano.
