Overview
- Football Insider and subsequent reports say Everton are monitoring the 28-year-old and considering an approach this month to address right-back.
- White has started four league matches this season after Jurrien Timber’s emergence, with recent knee surgery and a December hamstring issue affecting availability.
- The defender’s deal runs to 2028 with an option for a further year, and his wages and fee expectations make a permanent January transfer improbable.
- Everton’s need is heightened by Seamus Coleman’s injuries and mixed alternatives, with Leeds’ Jayden Bogle reported to be unavailable for a move.
- Analysts note Arsenal’s reluctance to weaken depth mid-season, with a short-term loan framed as the most plausible structure if any move is sanctioned.
