Ridiculous if Arsenal are making this known. Almost advertising the bid, in readiness to get gazumped at the last minute by a Chelsea, Everton or City. If true I’d sit on the bid for a while to see what else comes in.
I get the feeling that Ben wants to stay in the south and therefore Chelsea entering the fray is definitely going to interest him and up the ante, especially as they have Champions League money. Arsenal are soon going to realise that they can't play with the big boys.
I'm sure this is how Arsenal see it, but the Everton interest must be real. I expect Ben's agent has sold Arsenal to Ben but ultimately if Arsenal don't meet our valuation and the structure of payments then it's not happening.
The Mail state that Everton have offered £50m with £20m upfront and the rest over four years. I expect that represents quite a significant uplift on the Arsenal offer. I expect we’ll take a few days to consider it to open the window for other clubs to bid. Interesting comment that we stated a...
If true, this is good news. Will increase the competition, and therefore price we'll get, and frankly I'd prefer him to go to a top team rather than Arsenal.
I'm thinking that Arsenal will need to sell before they buy big. Players like Willock, Nketiah, Ainsley Maitland-Niles are all players they'd love to get off their books before they know their true budget.
What is for sure though is that they are the club that seem to be linked with the most...
Thing is, if they can offer him £120k pw ( which I'm not completely convinced of), they can stump up £50m as a transfer fee, upfront, rather than the dithering about they are undertaking.
I actually think that Arsenal haven't got the money, they need to sell first. They want White on the cheap...
Arsenal will now know who will win their 2021/22 player of the season award after the jealous Leeds global mega supporter base vote for The ‘Leeds through and through, Ben White’.
£50m. Wow. Good luck to him. So now Joel Veltman will take his place in his preferred position of right sided centre back. We paid £950k for a Champions League full international and I expect Joel wanted to be playing first team football in his preferred position.
Gives a chance to get Ostigard...
These Twitter based Journos are desperate for followers. It will be announced if it is a done deal.
He refers to Grealish being a target for Arsenal too. Is he mad? Arsenal haven’t got a cat in hells chance of landing sockboy.
It’s all a ‘clever’ guessing game to try to show they are ITK when...
Thing is it's all about the detail isn't it. £50m cash offer and I'm sure we'd take it.
However, if it's £40m with £10m of add ons with the add ons being ambitious ( eg top 4 finish) then I'm sure we'll turn it down.
It is probably just rumour and some so called Twitter ITK 'journalist' trying...
Ben's agent does seem a right knob. I believe he has very few high end clients and is therefore desperate for this 'big transfer'. Where is his focus on Ben finding the right club for his progression when he knows that Arsenal aren't in Europe but other CL qualified clubs may be prepared to buy...
I 'love' the way the article says'Arsenal return with an improved £45m bid?' With a question mark at the end. Basically saying that they have no idea, but classic click bait. The way that Arsenal are conducting their business I'm sure that we'll all find out soon enough when they actually do.
Funny how we were largely accepting that Bissouma would be the player to go this window and now it looks like White. Arsenal have started the bidding and I can see Man United and potentially others joining in the bidding war.
I’d be pleased if we got north of £50m for White and we could keep...
