Arsenal star said to be ‘fighting for his future’ – even after 51 appearances last season: report

Ben White fighting for his Arsenal future, according to one report

One player who finds his place in the Gunners starting under threat following the summer transfer window is defender Ben White.

The signing of Italy international Riccardo Calafiori has added another elite option to what was already the Premier League’s best defence and the former Bologna man’s impressive early performances have seen him stake his claim for a place in Arteta’s best back-four.

According to the Mirror, it is White whose place is most under threat for the Italian, as they claim there is ‘a battle looming’ between the pair for the final spot in the Gunners back line.

William Saliba and Gabriel‘s superb partnership at centre-back means they are among the first names on Arteta’s teamsheet, while Jurrien Timber has recovered from last season’s injury hell to cement his place in the line-up.
