Arsenal transfer target Ben White ‘impresses’ wonderkid Bukayo Saka in England training with deal set to be done after Euro 2020

https://ift.tt/3ha0fpZ

Arsenal transfer target Ben White already has a fan at the Emirates – England teammate Bukayo Saka.

The Brighton centre-back is believed to be edging toward a £50million move this summer, which will likely be confirmed after Euro 2020.

White did well in his maiden Premier League campaign last time out, which earned him a spot in Gareth Southgate’s provisional squad.

Injury to Liverpool ace Trent Alexander-Arnold saw White drafted into the 26-man group, and while he is yet to play at the tournament he’s delighting those around him.

Gunners wonderkid Saka, who might be seeing a lot more of White in the 2021/22 season, is one of those taking note.

He said: “I really like Ben White. I think he’s really good on the ball. He’s got composure, [he can use his] left foot or right foot, playing out of the back.

White was linked with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United after an impressive loan spell at Leeds in 2019/20

“Some of the stuff I’ve seen in training has really impressed me because I haven’t seen much of him this season.

“Seeing him in training I’ve been impressed.”

And White has also been praising Saka at Euro 2020.

After England’s win over Czech Republic, the Brighton ace revealed he’d been dazzled by the youngster.

He said: “It didn’t really surprise me, to be fair. Watching all the boys in training anyone could start the game and light it up. Especially with Bukayo, he’s been unbelievable in training.

“I didn’t really think he was as good as he was. It’s right foot, left foot, he can go either way, or shoot. He’s been really good.”

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
