A big transfer rumor has arisen. Former Chelsea winger Shaun Wright Phillips thinks the Blues could try to sign Arsenal defender Ben White. The news comes just as the two London rivals are set to play a big Premier League match this weekend.
Arteta’s set-piece joke
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is in a good mood after his team’s latest victory. They beat Tottenham 4-1. Funnily enough, all four goals came from open play. Arteta joked that he was “angry” they did not score from a set piece. This was a funny response to critics who say Arsenal rely too much on goals from corners and free kicks. His team is playing well and sitting comfortably at the top of the table.
White couch time
Ben White hasn’t played much this season. He was a regular starter for a long time. But since returning from injury, he has lost his place. Jurrien Timber’s stellar form at right-back means White has spent a lot more time on the bench. Wright-Phillips feels sorry for White and calls him one “incredible” player who lost his place to the “best right back in the Premier League.”
The shock transfer prediction
Due to White’s lack of playing time, Wright-Phillips made a surprising prediction. He said he saw a move for Ben White Chelsea next summer. He said it “makes sense.” However, he also believes Arsenal will not sell White mid-season. The club needs White for the entire selection.
Author insight
Transfer talks between two fierce rivals such as Arsenal and Chelsea are always dramatic. Losing a player like Ben White would certainly upset Mikel Arteta. It is highly unlikely that this will happen during the winter transfer window. But if White remains on the bench, the rumors will increase. Every player wants to play. It will be a situation to monitor closely in the summer.
