Ben White has claimed he would have made it to the top of the tree as a gardener if he had not cut it as a footballer.
The £50million England defender netted his first Arsenal goal in the famous fightback against Bournemouth to keep the Gunners five points clear. But White has admitted he never plotted to play the beautiful game - and insisted he would still have been a winner in another field.
“I’d probably be working with my dad if I wasn’t a footballer,” he said. “He used to be a gardener. I think that’s why there was never any pressure on me growing up, because I would have been very happy with that.
