Newcastle Join Race for Arsenal’s Ben White as Summer Exit Is Weighed

Newcastle interest signals a crowded chase for a defender Arsenal are reported to be willing to sell.

Overview

  • Reports indicate Newcastle have entered the list of clubs assessing Ben White for a summer move, with no formal bids disclosed.
  • Ex-Man United chief scout Mick Brown said Eddie Howe is a big admirer of White, which aligns with Newcastle’s need if Kieran Trippier or Tino Livramento depart.
  • Everton have been linked as long-term suitors, and Leeds are viewed as potential bidders given White’s standout 2019–20 loan season at Elland Road.
  • White’s minutes at Arsenal have dipped due to injuries, yet his stock rose with an England recall and a first international goal against Uruguay.
  • Arsenal are said to be planning broader sales under sporting director Andrea Berta, and they are exploring right-back options such as Livramento as part of a summer reshuffle.
