Ben White is currently in outstanding form, according to Mikel Arteta, following his impressive return to the Arsenal team. While White has been fit for some time, he has struggled to displace Jurrien Timber from the starting lineup. The Dutchman has been in exceptional form over recent weeks, providing Arsenal with a stable back four for much of the season.
Although Timber remains ahead in the pecking order, White has continued to work diligently to reclaim his place. His determination and focus have been evident in training and match performances, demonstrating that he remains a vital asset for the club. While a return to the national team before the next World Cup may be unlikely, his current condition at Arsenal is exceptional.
White’s Return Highlights Squad Depth
White’s opportunity came against Brentford when Timber was rested, and he seized it with a composed and effective performance. His return emphasised the strength in depth within Arsenal’s defensive ranks, as well as the competitive environment that ensures players maintain high standards. White’s presence allows Arteta to rotate the squad without compromising defensive solidity, which is crucial in a season where the team is competing on multiple fronts.

Praise from Arteta
Arteta expressed his satisfaction with White’s performance as reported by the Metro, stating, ‘His attitude has been so positive, so good. Then when you are ready and you’re given the opportunity, you take it like he did today. So I’m very happy that we have him back in the best version of himself as well, and we’re going to need him because he’s a tremendous player. The first thing as a defender is he defends, and defends with that purpose and with that determination and efficiency. He’s done that today.’
To achieve success in the Premier League or in any cup competition this season, it is essential that every Arsenal player competes at their highest level consistently. White’s return to form provides reassurance that the squad has the quality, depth and determination required to challenge for trophies.
