Sunderland are closing in on a major transfer coup as Arsenal right-back Ben White edges closer to a sensational move to the Stadium of Light. The Black Cats are reportedly prepared to offer the England defender a lucrative £150,000-per-week contract after reaching an agreement on personal terms. Arsenal are said to be open to selling the experienced defender for a fee in the region of £35 million as they reshape their squad ahead of the new season.
The deal comes as Sunderland continue to strengthen following their return to the Premier League, with the club determined to add proven top-flight quality to their ranks. White’s arrival would represent one of the biggest signings in Sunderland’s recent history, bringing leadership, defensive stability, and valuable Premier League experience.
Although negotiations are still being finalized, confidence is growing that the transfer will be completed soon, marking another ambitious statement of intent from Sunderland in the summer transfer window.
