William Gallas 'can't understand' why Arsenal forked out £50m on Ben White when Manchester United were able to sign world 'class' Raphael Varane for less

William Gallas says he can't 'understand' why Arsenal forked out £50million to buy Ben White this summer.

The former Brighton defender signed a five-year deal with the Gunners after impressing Mikel Arteta during his loan spell with Leeds and his 2019-2020 campaign with the Seagulls.

However, Gallas has questioned Arsenal's logic after Manchester United were able to purchase the likes of Raphael Varane for less.
