Manchester City is plotting a dirty trick against Arsenal!
Manchester City wants to stab Arsenal in the back
Manchester City could make a big move in the upcoming winter transfer window. According to multiple sources, the Manchester club’s management is closely monitoring Ben White, Arsenal’s versatile defender. Pep Guardiola is said to be particularly fond of White’s profile, given his ability to play both on the right flank and at centre-back—a valuable asset in a squad frequently tested by injuries and squad rotation.
At 28 years old and under contract with the Gunners until 2028, the England international (4 caps) is going through a tough spell in London. With less playing time this season, he is reportedly considering a move in search of more minutes on the pitch. Arsenal would not completely rule out a transfer if a convincing offer comes in, especially as his current market value is estimated at around 38 million euros.
However, several observers see this mainly as a psychological ploy orchestrated by Manchester City. The Sky Blues, neck and neck with Arsenal in the Premier League title race, could be using this rumour to put pressure on their direct rivals. Pep Guardiola knows all too well the impact such speculation can have on the stability of a dressing room. Whether it’s genuine interest or a game of influence, the Ben White saga promises to heat up an already fiery English transfer market this winter.
