'His performance always goes under the radar': fans name unsung hero of the season at Arsenal
Arsenal returned to winning ways with a 5–0 thrashing of Nottingham Forest on Sunday after the midweek defeat in the Europa League.
Ben White reclaimed his spot at right-back, making a vital block with the score at 1–0 to give the Gunners a platform to win the game later on.
And the fans believe that the centre-back, whose performances tend to fly under the radar, must be part of the England squad in Qatar next month.
Echo361: "If this dude is not on the plane the England manager is an idiot."
orphan_of_Ludwig: "He is the smartest defender in the squad. Heэs the player you want young kids coming to watch, he reads the game brilliantly, is exceptional on the ball, knows when to get physical, and has that little bit of trickery in his game to commit the dark arts when necessary."
Henry-chance-GOAL: "I just love his no-nonsense, unfazed, character. RB, CB, wherever, whenever, he gets the job done."
Arsenalas128: "His performance always goes under the radar, but what a player."
zorfog: "If we can get Tomi back to RB and Tierney/Zinchenko back at LB, I'd be interested to see White tried as a backup DM in place of Partey."
Whodatlily: "Same point I wanted to bring up, he makes life so much easier for Saliba. Teams often don't seem to want to attack down their left because of White on that side, and if they go at the center of our defense White always seems to be there to clean anything up."
