Ben White makes Arsenal debut vs Chelsea
With Arsenal looking to return to their glory days and White coming in for such a high fee, there will, of course, be a certain amount of expectation on the 23-year-old, despite the fact he only has one season of top-flight football under his belt.
And Arsenal fans were given their first glimpse of their new boy on Sunday afternoon.
Arsenal faced off with Chelsea in a pre-season friendly at the Emirates, with White coming on for the start of the 2nd 45 with his new club already 1-0 down thanks to a Kai Havertz strike.
White had a pretty lively start to his Arsenal career, getting back to block an almost certain goal from Hakim Ziyech after less than 15 minutes of his debut.
And in turn, White has already been receiving some high praise from the Arsenal faithful on social media, with just some of the support showcased below
