Arsenal paid £50 million for Ben White this summer, according to William Gallas, who says he doesn’t ‘get’ why.
After impressing Mikel Arteta during his loan spell with Leeds and his 2019-2020 season with the Seagulls, the former Brighton defender signed a five-year contract with the Gunners.
Gallas, on the other hand, has questioned Arsenal’s rationale in light of Manchester United’s recent acquisition of highly regarded French centre-back Raphael Varane for a comparatively low fee.
Manchester United agreed to pay £42 million for Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, including £34 million up front and £8 million in add-ons.
