Brighton & Hove Albion centre-back Ben White responds to rumours linking him with a move to Arsenal, and claims "there's no point talking about it".

Brighton & Hove Albion centre-back Ben White has responded to rumours linking him with a move to Arsenal while away on England duty.

The 23-year-old was a late call-up to Gareth Southgate's Euro 2020 squad after he replaced the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold, but is yet to feature for the national side in this summer's tournament.

After a successful loan spell at Leeds United, White returned to Brighton last season where he was an integral part of Graham Potter's side, featuring 36 times in the Premier League.

His performances have attracted interest from the Gunners, who may have to pay a fee in the region of £50m to tempt the Seagulls into a sale.

However, White has played down the rumours, telling talkSPORT: "It's nice, it's happened quite a lot over the last two years, there's been a lot of noise.

"You don't know what's true and what's not. So there's no real point talking about it."

The England international has a long-term contract at the Amex Stadium, running until 2024, after he came through the academy system on the South Coast.
