Arsenal have agreed terms with Brighton over the much-anticipated transfer of Ben White for £50million.
According to The Sun, White has agreed personal terms with the Gunners and, subject to a medical, is set to sign a five-year deal, with the England player to become Arsenal's most expensive defender ever.
Mikel Arteta has finally got his man after pursuing White for some time. Brighton rejected an initial bid of £40m for the 23-year-old last month, and also turned down Arsenal's follow-up offer of £45m plus add ons.
While several other clubs - including Chelsea, Everton, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham - were all heavily interested in White, Arsenal are understood to be the only club to make formal bids for him.
