When Ben White joined us last summer, eyebrows were raised for some at the price tag for the centre back.
But the England international’s superb performances at the heart of our defence quickly silenced any doubters, and Mikel Arteta is delighted with him.
“He's had a brilliant season,” the manager said.
“I think again what he's done, how quickly he's adapted, how quickly he's been able to handle the pressure with the number that he's wearing, with the price that we paid, with what we demand him to do. Straight away at his age, he's been great.”
