Arsenal summer signing has surprised Gunners coaches at Colney

Things have changed dramatically at Arsenal over the past two months.

In September, the Gunners were bottom of the Premier League table, without a point or goal to their name in the top flight.

Some were criticising Mikel Arteta, while Edu also caught some flak following the club’s summer business.

The Gunners spent close to £150million on new players but, in wake of those three August defeats, some wondered whether it was worth it.

But now, Arsenal are flying high in the table and could even go into the top four this weekend if they beat Liverpool.

Likewise, the Gunners’ summer arrivals are now shining in red-and-white and form part of an exciting, solid and young team.

Ben White was the most high-profile arrival in the summer due to his reported £50million price tag.

The 24-year-old struggled in the opener against Brentford and missed the following two games after catching covid.

Following this tricky start to life at Arsenal, White found his feet and now he’s doing superbly for the Gunners.

And according to The Athletic, one of White’s traits has left Arsenal coaches “pleasantly surprised”.

The England international has shown willingness to rally those around him, one of several players showing leadership at the club.

After David Luiz left in the summer, there were hopes that other players would step up and offer leadership.

White is one of those who has impressed with his leadership skills, as have Gabriel Magalhaes and Aaron Ramsdale.

It’s great to see Arsenal reaping the rewards of the hard work put in over the summer and during the course of the season.

And should the Gunners defeat Liverpool at Anfield this weekend, then it’ll very much show that Arsenal are back and gunning for the top four.
