ARSENAL fans are demanding that the club give Ben White a “lifetime contract” following his brilliant response to a question about Manchester City.
The Gunners restored their eight-point lead over Pep Guardiola’s side with a 4-1 win over Leeds on Saturday.
White has been praised by Arsenal fans for his response to a question about Man City
It came just a few hours after City piled on the pressure by thrashing Liverpool 4-1 at the Etihad.
White was asked about the lunchtime result in his post-match interview with the BBC, but he didn’t have too much to say about Arsenal’s title rivals.
The 25-year-old explained: “I don’t watch football, so I was just focussed on the game today and that was it.
“There’s a lot of noise going on outside, and everyone is just keeping it very quiet and just getting on with what we are doing.”
He added: “I don’t really know what’s right or wrong, I have never been in this position [competing in a title race] before. So we are just keeping quiet, heads down and working hard.”
Fans have since praised White for his hilarious response, with one person tweeting: “Omg no way he said that. He’s a footballer.. and he doesn’t watch football!! Just give him a lifetime contract this guy is a gem!”
Another added: “Just give him another contract!”
A third wrote: “Imagine being so good in a sport you have no interest in. The ultimate flex.”
A fourth said: “People who don’t know Benny Blanco probably confused here but he genuinely has no interest in football, hes just good at it.”
While another added: “Proper mentality. Focus on your own work.”
White previously revealed that he never watched football growing up despite his love for playing the game.
The defender has made 37 appearances for Arsenal so far this season.
