'Good option' - Liverpool urged to make sensational Ben White transfer swoop

Liverpool FC have been urged to pursue a blockbuster transfer for Arsenal defender Ben White, dubbed a "good option" to bolster their backline amid injury concerns and squad depth issues. The 28-year-old England international, who joined Arsenal from Brighton for nearly €60m in 2021, has fallen out of favor this season due to Jurrien Timber's excellent form, limiting him to just five Premier League appearances.

Recent reports highlight White as a prime target not just for Everton under David Moyes, who desperately need a right-back, but also as a sensational swoop for Liverpool. Despite Arsenal initially considering offloading him in 2026 after he slipped down the pecking order—with only two-and-a-half years left on his contract—the Gunners have performed a U-turn, agreeing internally not to sell during the January window as they chase the Premier League title.^[1][2]

Football.london and other sources confirm Arsenal's firm stance against a winter departure, valuing White's versatility at right-back or center-back, especially after defensive injuries to stars like Gabriel Magalhães and William Saliba forced rotations with Piero Hincapié and Cristhian Mosquera. Everton's interest remains unconfirmed, but White's frustration over limited minutes persists.^[2]

For Liverpool, signing White could provide elite depth and competition, particularly with rumors of Arsenal eyeing Newcastle's Valentino Livramento, which might push White out in summer. Transfer rumors also swirl around White to Everton, though unconfirmed, amid a quiet January at the Emirates focused on retaining squad depth.^[1][3] Experts argue Liverpool should act decisively, viewing the former England capped star as a "good option" for long-term stability and title contention.
