Ben White, born on October 8, 1997, in Poole, UK, began his youth football career at Southampton at the age of eight. After eight years, he was released at 16, a turning point that led him to join Brighton & Hove Albion’s academy in 2014. He made his senior debut for Brighton at 18 during the 2016-17 season. Over consecutive seasons, White gained extensive experience through loan spells, playing in the four professional English leagues. These included stints at Newport County (2017-18) in League Two, Peterborough United (2018-19) in League One, and Leeds United (2019-20) in the Championship. His time at Leeds United was particularly notable, as he helped the team achieve promotion to the Premier League as league champions and earned the Leeds Young Player of the Season award. He also secured a spot in the PFA Team of the Year for the 2019-20 Championship season.
Returning to Brighton & Hove Albion for the 2020-21 season, White made his Premier League debut and soon established himself as a key player, winning the club’s Player of the Season award. His impressive performances attracted attention from top-tier clubs. In July 2021, White completed a significant £50 million transfer to Arsenal, making him the club’s most expensive defender at the time. His tenure at Arsenal has seen him transition from centre-back to a proficient right-back, contributing defensively and offensively. In the 2023-24 season, he scored a personal best of four Premier League goals and provided five assists, earning Arsenal’s Player of the Month award in March 2024. He also scored the 10,000th goal in the club’s history at Bramall Lane. In March 2024, White signed a new four-year contract with Arsenal, extending his commitment to the club until June 2028.
White’s international career began in 2021 with his first call-up to the England national team. He made his senior international debut in June 2021 and was part of the England squad that finished as runners-up in UEFA Euro 2020. He was also selected for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Throughout his career, White has been recognized for his versatile defensive capabilities, tough tackling, and calm composure on the ball. He has also been praised for his aggressive forward runs, contributing to counterattacks. In November 2024, he underwent knee surgery but returned later in the season, notably providing an assist in the final match against Southampton.
