The deal to bring Ben White to Everton has reportedly broken down. The Arsenal defender had featured prominently in the club's plans, but sources are now speculating that no agreement was reached and both sides are expected to move on quickly to new targets. Whether talks will resume further down the line remains to be seen. The proposed transfer is no longer on the table, and with no competing interest, the player is expected to stay where he is. Everton's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 1.19 goals per game (25 in 21). Ben White would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Alongside this, Arsenal are said to be exploring Igor Tyjon, Leon Goretzka and Bradley Barcola with Everton likewise connected to Emil Holm, Brooke Norton Cuffy and El-Ouas Zakaria.
