Everton are monitoring Arsenal defender Ben White as a potential solution for their right-back position, with sources indicating the club is open to a deal this January. The 28-year-old England international has seen his playing time diminish this season, making only four Premier League starts, and has recently struggled with a hamstring injury that limited him to a seven-minute substitute appearance since mid-December.
While Arsenal were not initially planning to let White leave, sources told Football Insider last month that Arsenal were not planning to let White leave in the January window, but his latest injury concerns may have changed those plans. With White under contract until 2028 (plus an option), a permanent move is considered difficult mid-season, but his struggle for game time could see him push for a loan move for the second half of the campaign, with Everton waiting in the wings to pounce if he becomes available.
