Player to sign four-year contract at Arsenal, medical to be completed

Arsenal target Ben White is so close to a north London move, as journalist Duncan Castles reported on the Transfer Window Podcast. The Brighton centre-back has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates and it seems that the move is almost ready to be announced now. Gunners have agreed all terms with Brighton, with White now undergoing a medical away from London Colney. The 23-year-old will then visit Arsenal’s training ground for further tests later this week, before the deal will be made official.

“I’m told that Ben White is taking medical scans today, his first part of his medical for Arsenal,” Castles said.   “Later in the week he’s due to go to Arsenal’s training ground and take biometric tests to complete that medical. Everything is agreed club to club. The fee is a guaranteed £50 million, which is the second highest transfer fee ever exchanged for a central defender.   “£30 million of that will be paid in one calendar year to Brighton and then two more payments of £10 million in following seasons. There’s over £5 million of performance related variables in terms of Ben White at international level and then club achievements by Arsenal.   “He will sign a four year contract at Arsenal, assuming he passes the medical and his salary will increase to around £6 million a year.”
