Ben White: Arsenal fans have fallen in love with Mikel Arteta's new master of sh*thousery

Arsenal fans knew exactly what was coming when Ben White was asked in the aftermath of the win against Leeds whether he had paid much attention to Manchester City’s victory at Liverpool earlier in the afternoon.

“I don’t watch football,” the right-back replied stoney faced.

Immediately that quote was clipped up and plastered all over social media. ‘Never change Ben’ was the overriding message from supporters, who just can’t get enough of their right-back.

White may not be overly appreciated by England and Gareth Southgate at present, but he is absolutely loved at Arsenal. And that is no surprise given the performances he has been putting in for Mikel Arteta’s league leaders this season.

“I’m really pleased with him,” Arteta said after the win against Leeds, which saw White score his second goal of the season in the 4-1 success.
