‘You don’t have the full facts’ – Ben White’s agent defends Arsenal star after England snub criticism

The agent of Ben White has penned a passionate defence of the Arsenal star and says the public still don’t know the ‘full facts’ over his decision to decline an England call-up.

White, 26, faced a backlash last month from pundits and England supporters after Gareth Southgate revealed he had made himself unavailable for selection for the national team.

Various reports and rumours have emerged since regarding the reasons behind White’s England snub, with the defender believed to have had an ‘angry exchange’ with Three Lions assistant Steve Holland – though Southgate denied that.

White has shown no signs of the furore surrounding his England decision affecting his performances for Arsenal, and he delivered another superb display in his side’s 5-0 dismantling of Chelsea on Tuesday night.
