Ben White’s Arsenal Future Questioned as Wright‑Phillips Tips Summer Move to Chelsea

Reduced minutes behind Jurrien Timber have triggered fresh talk of a post‑season decision rather than a January departure.

Overview

  • Shaun Wright-Phillips said he could see Ben White moving to Chelsea next summer, calling the scenario possible if his game time does not improve.
  • White has made six appearances this season and has been an unused substitute in nine straight Premier League matches, with Timber preferred at right-back.
  • Pundit commentary stresses Arsenal are unlikely to sanction a winter sale because White provides important depth should Timber be unavailable.
  • Lee Dixon suggested White may choose to leave in 2026 to secure regular starts even if Arsenal continue to win major trophies.
  • Arsenal Insider reported that Manchester City are monitoring White, a claim that remains single-source and unconfirmed.
