Manchester United are reportedly among the clubs keeping a close eye on Ben White’s situation at Arsenal.
The England defender, who was recalled to the Three Lions squad for the March international break, has just two years remaining on his current contract at the Emirates Stadium and he has been widely tipped to depart Mikel Arteta’s side during the upcoming summer transfer window.

It has been reported that Arsenal will be required to sanction a number of player sales in order to fund their transfer business this summer, and White is one of the stars who could be offloaded, alongside the likes of Myles Lewis-Skelly, Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard.
The 28-year-old has only started five Premier League matches so far this season, after falling behind Jurrien Timber in the pecking order, and a number of English top flight clubs are keeping close tabs on his situation in north London.
It has been reported that Arsenal have reached an agreement to sell White if they receive a suitable offer this summer and TEAMtalk have confirmed that Everton and Manchester City are both interested in finalising a deal for the defender.
In addition, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man Utd are also said to be monitoring developments ahead of a potential swoop following the conclusion of the 2025-26 campaign.
White is reportedly yet to receive an official approach from any interested club, although negotiations regarding a deal are expected to intensify over the next few months as Arsenal prepare for a possible sale.
Arsenal identify Ben White replacements
FootballTransfers understands that Arsenal have earmarked Newcastle United star Valentino Livramento as their top right-back target if White departs this summer, although the club are also monitoring a number of alternative options.
Ivan Fresneda (Sporting CP), Wesley Franca (AS Roma), Nnamdi Collins (Eintracht Frankfurt) and Vanderson (AS Monaco) are on Arsenal’s radar too, as per TEAMtalk, with the north London giants ready to offload White and sign a younger replacement.
In addition, we have been informed that Arsenal are set to pursue a new central midfielder and at least one new forward when the upcoming summer transfer window opens.
