Arsenal saw two bids for White rejected before an agreement was reached with Brighton, who have inserted a sell-on clause.

He will immediately join up with his new team-mates ahead of the Mind Series friendly match at home to Chelsea on Sunday.

He is the club’s third first-team summer signing, after left-back Nuno Tavares joined from Benfica for around £8m and midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga arrived from Anderlecht.

Prior to his debut season in the Premier League last year, White impressed on loan during Leeds’ Championship title-winning side in 2023-20 which led Brighton to secure him on a new four-year contract.
