Overview
- Everton have identified signing a new right-back as a top offseason priority, with Ben White cited as a leading target by Football Insider.
- The club pursued White in January, but Arsenal opted against a midseason sale, so any approach is now expected to wait until the summer window.
- White has started five Premier League matches this season and has not featured in the league since 25 January, with Timber preferred and Cristhian Mosquera used off the bench.
- Arsenal could consider offers in the £20–25m range with two years left on White’s deal, according to Football Insider, and Just Arsenal relays that Everton are prepared to meet that valuation.
- No formal bid or agreement has been confirmed, and reports suggest White may weigh regular playing time and interest from other suitors before deciding his future.
