Manchester City are reportedly considering a surprise move for Arsenal defender Ben White.
The England international has featured only six times this season, with a single Premier League start, leading to growing frustration over his limited playing time.
According to transfer expert Graeme Bailey, City are closely monitoring White’s situation amid uncertainty about his future at the Emirates.
Speaking to Arsenal Insider (via londonworld.com), Bailey revealed that while White remains committed to Arsenal, he is unhappy with his lack of minutes and unwilling to spend his career on the bench. He added that the defender is not keen on a move abroad, particularly to Saudi Arabia.
“There is a lot of interest in him on the continent from Atletico Madrid and Juventus. The other one that I’ve heard who are keeping tabs on his situation, because they think he could be a very good fit to them as a right-back is Man City. He’d probably suit their system so it makes sense.
“Arsenal are not going to mess around with this squad. As we saw previously, with the likes of [Jakub] Kiwior, Arsenal are always going to err on the side of caution. I’m not saying he is banging on Arteta’s door right now, but he’s aware of the situation.”
Previous transfer windows have seen players from Arsenal move to City.
Among the players are Emmanuel Adebayor, Gael Clichy, Samir Nasri, David Seaman and Kolo Toure.
