'I want to stay at Arsenal for as long as I can' - Gunners star defender Ben White is loving north London life

The right-back has almost three years left on his current contract with the Gunners, but it was reported last month that the north London side are prepared to open talks over an extension to reward him for his fine form.

White, 26, joined Arsenal from Brighton in 2021 and has already made 95 appearances for the club. He has played every minute of Premier League football for Mikel Arteta's team this season and has scored one goal - in a 4-0 win against Bournemouth at the end of September.

Asked if he wants to extend his contract, he told Sky Sports: "Yeah, of course. I want to stay at Arsenal for as long as I can, stay at the highest level and push this club back to where it needs to be. Whenever that's spoken about, it's an amazing feeling that someone wants you. I've still got a few years left on my current contract, so even to be speaking about it is a nice feeling."

The defender will likely be included in the starting XI once again when his team travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea on Saturday.
