Another vital cog of Arsenal’s backline is secured for another four years.

Ben White’s new contract to 2028, with the option for an extra year, is some marker. His fellow defenders William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes are tied down until 2027, while Takehiro Tomiyasu’s new contract is expected to be announced in the coming days.

It is the foundations Edu and Co have laid which make the Gunners a threat for years to come.

White said: ‘I have been on loan three times, I have been places for a year. I think this is the first time I’ve actually settled and known I am not going anywhere in the summer. Being here is unbelievable and I’d love to stay (for more years).

‘I think if you do look at the ages, it’s going to get better.’
