Arsenal defender Ben White has become the latest first teamer to earn a new contract.

The right-back, who can also play center-half, has put pen to paper on a new contract.

Manager Mikel Arteta has made it a priority to get all the club's young stars tied down for the long term.

“I think when those sort of players are getting signed, it shows there is a real ambition about the club and it is something I am loving being a part of," White said of renewing.

"I have been on loan three times, I have been places for a year.

“I think this is the first time I've actually settled and known I am not going anywhere in the summer. Being here is unbelievable."

“Yeah, definitely. I think if you do look at the ages, it's going to get better," he said.

Asked about manager Arteta, White added: “Day to day it is shown how important this club is and how important it is to do the little things right and get the results that we need."
