Brighton 'plot swoop for Liverpool star Nat Phillips as £15m-rated defender is identified as Arsenal-bound Ben White's replacement' ahead of Three Lions star's impending £50m move to North London

Brighton and Hove Albion are reportedly lining up a move for Liverpool defender Nat Phillips as the Seagulls identify the £15m centre back as Arsenal-bound Ben White's replacement.

White, who was part of England's squad for Euro 2020, is set to join Arsenal after the Gunners agreed a £50m deal with Premier League rivals Brighton for the 23-year-old's services last week.

The former Leeds loanee impressed in a back three alongside Lewis Dunk and Adam Webster, but his impending departure means that the Seagulls are on the hunt for a new star to fill the void left by the England international.
