Mikel Arteta told to drop 'overrated' Arsenal star just one year after major transfer

Former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor has told Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta to drop 'overrated' star Ben White.

White joined the north London side less than 12 months ago, signing from Brighton for a reported £50 million. The England international enjoyed a solid debut campaign at the Emirates Stadium, registering 13 clean sheets in 32 Premier League outings - forming a solid centre-back partnership with Gabriel Magalhaes.

However, French starlet William Saliba will hope to dislodge one of White or Gabriel next season following an excellent loan spell with Marseille that saw him win Ligue 1's young player of the year award. And former England international Agbonlahor has urged Arteta to drop the former Brighton man, who he claims is overrated, in favour of Saliba.
