"White, who signed for the Gunners for £50m from Brighton back in 2021, has suffered with a number of injury problems so far in this campaign, which has restricted him to just 19 appearances in all competitions, with just five starts in the Premier League."
"Arsenal have had a long-term interest in the Spaniard, who is one of the fastest players in the Champions League, and they view him as the perfect profile to come in at right-back and provide competition for Timber."
"The 21-year-old does not have Premier League experience which could work against him initially, but Sporting aren't expected to stand in his way if an acceptable offer arrives, which could make it an easier deal for Arsenal to do."
Arsenal are exploring a summer transfer involving Ben White's potential departure and the acquisition of Sporting CP's Ivan Fresneda. White, signed for £50m in 2021, has limited playing time due to injuries and competition from Jurrien Timber and William Saliba. The club is open to selling him for approximately £30m. Fresneda, a 21-year-old Spanish right-back, has emerged as Arsenal's primary target to replace White and provide competition for Timber. Known as one of the fastest players in the Champions League, Fresneda represents the profile Arsenal seeks. While he lacks Premier League experience, Sporting CP are unlikely to block his departure if an acceptable offer materializes.
