Ben White is a very fine ball-playing defender, and he does his job very well for Arsenal at the back.
Ex-Arsenal man, Kevin Campbell, has urged Ben White to add aggression to his game so he can become a better defender.
The England international is Arsenal’s most expensive centre-back after they splashed the cash on him last summer.
He formed a brilliant defensive partnership with Gabriel Magalhaes at the heart of the defence in the last season. Arsenal almost sealed its place in the Champions League but missed out.
Gabby Agbonlahor told Football Insider last month that White is overrated, and lacks aggression.
Campbell agrees with him and says the ex-Brighton centre-back must add that little aggression to his game.
He tells Football Insider: “Ben White does not fill you with trepidation if you are playing against him. I think Gabriel has that though. He is a lot more physical. That is what Agbonlahor is saying.
“I don’t think he’s saying he’s a bad player. He’s just saying he lacks that aggression.
“Ben White has made the England squad with the attributes he has got. That is the key.
“Can he get more aggressive? I think he can. Over time he will, I’m sure.”

Meanwhile, Gabriel is truly more aggressive and will make opponents consider not getting close to him.
