Brighton defender Webster not surprised by interest in Arsenal target White

Brighton defender Adam Webster is not surprised that center back Ben White is close to signing for Arsenal.

The England youngster is reportedly a medical away from signing his contract with the Gunners.

Several reputable English media sources have claimed that Arsenal will pay £50 million for White.

Speaking in an interview with talkSPORT, Webster said: "He's got so much ability and so much potential.

"He's still only 23, so he's still got a lot of years ahead of him.

"To do what he's done, every year and kick on and progress, from League One to the Championship and then last year in the Premier League and playing for England.

"He takes it all in his stride and nothing fazes him. It doesn't surprise me."
