Ben White signs a new four-year contract at Arsenal until 2028

Ben White has committed his future to Arsenal by signing a new four-year deal at the club.

The 26-year-old joined the Gunners from Brighton & Hove Albion for a fee of £50million in 2021 and he has gone on to establish himself as a regular in Mikel Arteta’s team.

The defender has made 122 appearances for the Gunners throughout his three years in north London.

White played centre-back throughout his first season at Arsenal but he has spent the past two seasons playing at right-back.

Arsenal boss Arteta was delighted that the versatile defender agreed a new deal with the club. He said: ‘It’s great news that Ben is committing his future to the club. 

‘Ben is a key player for us, a top professional with a winning mentality, and one of the guys who leads by example every day.

‘Ben’s ability, determination and positive attitude are so important, but he is also a great character and human being.’

The Gunners’ sporting director Edu added: ‘We are so happy to have completed a new long-term contract with Ben.

‘Since Ben joined us, his contribution and commitment have been of such high quality. Our supporters love him, we love him and we look forward to enjoying Ben’s performances with us for years to come.’
