Ben White has been linked with a possible move to Everton as the Toffees continue their search for a new right back to strengthen their squad. The Arsenal defender has shown strong form when available for selection, yet his recent spell has been disrupted by fitness issues. These setbacks have affected his ability to maintain a consistent place in the starting lineup, despite his evident quality and experience at the highest level.White’s situation at ArsenalWhite has lost his regular spot in the Arsenal team to Jurrien Timber, largely because he has struggled to stay fit. While his availability has been limited, he remains a respected figure within the squad, and Mikel Arteta values his professionalism and versatility. When fit, White is capable of delivering reliable performances, but his current situation highlights the importance of sustained fitness if he is to enjoy a prolonged career at the Emirates.Competition for places means that White often finds himself on the bench when the squad is fully fit, though he did play against Portsmouth this afternoon.
