Arsenal are plotting to sign Michael Kayode from Brentford to replace Ben White

In order to replace Ben White, Mikel Arteta and Arsenal are now focusing on acquiring another set-piece expert this summer. Ben White’s time at Arsenal has been unsatisfactory. With the addition of new players, his injury issues have gotten worse, and he is now ranked lower than Cristhian Mosquera and Jurrien Timber.

If Arsenal wins the Premier League this year, it would be the perfect time for the right-back to leave quickly because Everton and other teams are apparently keen. White, who initially cost about £50 million, is still the most expensive defender to join the Gunners under Arteta, despite later failures.

While questions about his future continue to arise, the former Brighton star will likely be concentrating on getting well from his injuries. However, it’s uncertain if it will take place versus Chelsea this weekend.

There is no rest for the wicked, despite the Gunners’ potential to win the Premier League this season. White’s replacement is one of the summer reinforcements Andrea Berta is already considering.

Arsenal eyeing Michael Kayode as Ben White’s replacement

Arsenal has long had Michael Kayode on their wish list. Given that Ben White’s long-term status is unknown going into the summer transfer window, the ongoing interest makes sense. The English international’s status with the Emirates has declined, and a summer exit might be imminent.

According to the most recent source, because of White’s connections to European teams, Arsenal will expect almost £30 million to sell him. Kayode has emerged as a potential long-term replacement; thus, the Premier League’s top teams must focus on finding one.

The 21-year-old Italian right-back has reportedly been linked to other Premier League heavyweights, so Arsenal won’t be the only team vying for his signature. Ivan Fresneda and Valentino Livramento are also on the Gunners’ wish list of potential White replacements.

The 21-year-old, who has made over 50 appearances for the West London team so far and contributed one assist, has been a staple in the defence for Brentford. Meanwhile, a number of prominent teams have taken notice of Kayode’s advancements.
