It’s increasingly likely that Brighton & Hove Albion will start next season without Ben White, so where does that leave the centre of their defence?
It’s an area of the team that is already very strong, with a variety of choices, but Brighton could still dip into the transfer market for a replacement.
There’s no doubt that they will miss White’s quality, even if the budget for squad strengthening is swelled due to his departure by around £50 million. Whether he ends up at Arsenal or somewhere else, his inclusion in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for Euro 2020 has fast-tracked the scale of interest in the 23-year-old central defender.
