Arsenal legend Alan Smith has been praising Ben White for his performances since arriving in north London, stating that the 24-year-old responded well to a tricky start.
Acquired for a fee believed to be in the region of £50 million, White came to the Emirates with a hefty price tag placed on his shoulders, with many expecting him to raise the level at the heart of the club's backline.
But life in an Arsenal shirt didn't start the way he would have envisaged, following a difficult outing at Brentford on debut, where he came up short against Ivan Toney in the 1v1 battle on the night.
