However, White admits he did not need much convincing: He said: “I don’t think I needed too much convincing to be fair, obviously Arsenal speaks for itself.
“I spoke to the gaffer a number of times during the summer and I got good vibes and the way the gaffer wants to play I can hopefully produce quality in this team and get Arsenal back.”
White also revealed when he found about Arsenal’s interest in him.
He said: “It was when I was away with England that is when it got a bit more serious.
“So, it was obviously nice to find out and to be here is unbelievable.”
