Arsenal officials have reportedly agreed that Ben White will not be sold during the January transfer window.
The 28-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium this season, due to Jurrien Timber’s immense form, and he has been heavily linked with a departure in recent months.

White has been named as one of several Arsenal players who could be offloaded in 2026 after losing his place in the starting XI, but the Gunners have now made a U-turn regarding his future in north London.
The former England international, who has four senior caps for his country, has emerged as a key transfer target for Everton in recent days, with David Moyes’ side desperate to sign a new right-back this month.
However, Arsenal have no interest in selling White during the winter window, as per a report from Football.London.
The former Brighton & Hove Albion defender, who joined Arsenal for just shy of €60 million in 2021, has only made five Premier League appearances so far this season, but the Gunners will not sanction a departure as they look to win the English top flight title for the first time since 2004.
In addition to White, Everton are also reportedly interested in the likes of Emil Holm (Bologna), Brooke Norton-Cuffy (Genoa) and Juanlu Sanchez (Sevilla), and they will be forced to pursue an alternative target amid Arsenal’s current transfer stance.
Arsenal chase Valentino Livramento
While Arsenal have decided against offloading White in January, the Englishman is frustrated with his lack of game time so far this season, FootballTransfers understands.
He has just two-and-a-half years remaining on his current contract at the Emirates Stadium and we have been informed that Arsenal are keeping close tabs on Newcastle United star Valentino Livramento ahead of a potential pursuit this year.
If the Gunners are able to land the ex-Chelsea academy starlet, it would push White even further down the pecking order and could feasibly lead to a departure this summer.
