Some Arsenal fans have been left annoyed after the club had a £40m bid rejected for Ben White.

According to Sky Sports, the Seagulls rejected the offer from the Gunners with talks continuing.

The defender is keen on joining the outfit, according to football.london.

However, he won’t be cheap with Brighton reportedly demanding £50m for the England international.

Arsenal are set to wave goodbye to David Luiz, who is leaving at the end of this month.

Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta’s men will face Brentford on the opening day of the Premier League season.

Arsenal failed to qualify for Europe last term, leaving just 38 Premier League games and a handful of cup outings.

The rejected bid for White is a woeful decision from Arsenal, however, signals Arteta’s intent moving forward.
