Ben White is the latest Arsenal player in talks with the club over a contract extension, two seasons after he arrived at the Emirates.
The Englishman has been ever-present in the Gunners’ team since he joined the club and continues to deliver top performances in almost every game.
Mikel Arteta’s side is working hard to secure the future of their best performers, and he is next in line.
The Gunners have been negotiating a new deal with his representatives for several weeks and are confident that everything will go according to plan.
White also loves playing for the club and staying in the city, which is a boost to the Gunners.
Football Insider reveals that the club hopes to accelerate talks in the coming months and will get him on a new contract that puts him in the same pay bracket as some of their top earners.
Just Arsenal Opinion
It is a no-brainer that we need to keep White at the club because he is clearly one of our best performers so far.
The Englishman has delivered top performances for us and is a player everyone expects to continue doing well.
If we lose him soon, we may need to spend double what he cost us to replace him.

I don’t think hes good enough to be earning same as our top earners. He’s very good but not 200k a week good, which I would reserve for offensively effective fullbacks in example Davies, Cancelo etc.
Not worth it.
Yet another example of our club not learning from past lessons.
I think White is an excellent player, who always puts in a 100% shift, but not worth the reported salary…. in my opinion.
To think that AW was criticised for overpaying players and yet we have Havertz apparently doubling his salary and earning £300k a week.
Take those two players and add Nketiah’s and Nelson s rumoured salaries and one can safely say that the world of football has gone crazy.
The scary thing is ken, many of these players have not proved, that they actually deserve the massive hikes in pay, by winning something for us. It is a tough one, i know we have to keep them and pay them but surely they have to earn it. White is not an elite defender, i dont think he was worth the 50 mil we paid but regardless of that, he hasnt earned elite pay status. I can see us going down the same road we went down before. Paying player more than they are worth and getting stuck with them. Certain players are worth the investment, some aren’t. Not all of ours are. Did we learn from last time?
Reggie, it seems we haven’t learnt a single thing from the Ozil situation with regards to salaries.
I hate to think what our wage bill is, but I don’t think Ben White fits into the Nketiah and Nelson bracket with regards to the selling on dilemma.
He is a international player (albeit out of favour with the manager at the moment) who has a footballing brain, but I would like to think any club thinking of buying him, would expect a contract to show a decrease in his salary.
I can’t wait for timber’s return, we need more from that right back position. White is sluggish, exposes Saka too much, and can’t defend. Now he’s been offered a new contract – very funny. We will always keep struggling until certain things are changed in the line up
