Everton Weigh January Move for Arsenal’s Ben White

Reports point to a loan as the only realistic route due to Arsenal’s stance, with White tied down long term.

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 LeedsJayden 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.
