Former Aston Villa star player, Gabby Agbonlahor, has chided Arsenal defender, Ben White describing the star player as being overrated.
Agbonlahor insisted that White should not form the squad for Arsenal in the next season suggesting that instead; the player should be replaced by, Willian Saliba, who has been loaned to Marseille in Gunner's next squad. According to Agbonlahor, White does not deserve the money Arsenal is spending on him describing it as a waste of resources when he was brought over from Brighton.
In his statement, while speaking to Football insider, “I have watched Saliba a few times and he has got that speed that you like to see in a center-half and he is very good at making the right decision at the right time,”
However, he said “Arsenal’s defense is nowhere near good enough to get top-four. For me, Ben White is very overrated, I watched him against Newcastle towards the end of the season and he was absolutely dreadful.
“He lacks pace, he lacks aggression. Yes, he’s good on the ball, but he is not a defensive midfielder, he is a center-half. Arsenal needs two center-halves who are no-nonsense and have both got speed. For me, Gabriel and Saliba would be my starters next season.
He chided the white by saying, “I think Brighton is laughing at getting the fee they got for him because he’s not good enough. It’s a shame that Arsenal has wasted a lot of money again. It was the same with Pepe. Ben White was not needed and Saliba should start ahead of him.”
