Former Manchester City and Chelsea winger, Shaun Wright-Phillips, has suggested that Arsenal defender Ben White could make a surprising move to London rivals Chelsea this summer.

White transferred to Arsenal from Brighton for a fee of £50 million in 2021 and has been a crucial player for the Gunners throughout his first three seasons.

The England international has made at least 32 Premier League appearances for Arsenal in each of those seasons.

However, he faced injury issues last season, leading to the arrival of Jurien Timber as cover.

The English defender is currently struggling to regain his position in the Arsenal lineup, as Timber has established himself as the top right-back in the Premier League.

Wright-Phillips indicated that the former Brighton player could be heading to West London to assist Enzo Maresca’s team in strengthening their defense.

“It makes sense; it’s a possibility.

“I feel quite sorry for Ben because he had an injury, and he was performing exceptionally well for Arsenal. He was outstanding.

“Then he returned and lost his spot to Jurrien Timber, who is the best right-back in the Premier League. It’s going to take something special to displace him now,” he remarked.

Arsenal secured a 3-0 victory against Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday night, extending their lead to three points over the German team.

The upcoming match for Arsenal, which Ben White will be eager to start, is against Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday.
