Ben White 'is keen' on moving to Arsenal this summer amid reported interest from the north London club.
The Athletic reported last week that the 23-year-old has 'emerged as a concrete target' for the Gunners, who are preparing a move for the central defender.
White performed brilliantly for Brighton & Hove Albion last season, with his form earning him a call-up to Gareth Southgate 's 26-man England squad following Trent Alexander-Arnold's tournament-ending injury.
The Seagulls are reportedly demanding between £40-50million for the former Leeds United loanee, but his stance has now been revealed, which could have a big impact on the fee paid.
White wants to move to the Emirates Stadium this summer, according to the Daily Mail, despite signing a four-year deal at the Amex just last summer.
The report also claims that because of his new status as an England international, White would command a significant wage increase from his apparent £35,000-per-week deal down on the south coast.
Arsenal are reportedly keen on bringing another centre-back to the club following David Luiz's departure upon the expiry of his contract later this month.
White is someone that can play as a holding midfielder, a right-back, as well as his orthodox centre-half position, which makes him a really attractive option for Mikel Arteta.
However, Manchester United and Liverpool are also thought to be interested in the defender, although Leeds United have reportedly pulled out of the run-in to re-sign their former fan favourite.
If United or the Reds did make a move for White, then it could spell bad news for the Gunners because of their two rivals able to boast Champions League football next season.
