Danny Murphy reckons Arsenal defender Ben White could \u201cforce\u201d a January transfer to Liverpool as the Reds search for a right-back.<\/p>\n
The England international has fallen down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium this season after Arsenal<\/a> brought in eight new signings over the summer.<\/p>\n White has made just five Premier League appearances this season and played 13 times overall in all competitions for Mikel Arteta\u2019s men.<\/p>\n That has led to rumours that he could leave Arsenal in the January transfer window with Liverpool\u2019s Merseyside rivals Everton understood to be interested.<\/p>\n However, Murphy reckons a move to Liverpool \u201cwould make sense\u201d for White after the Reds lost Conor Bradley to a serious injury over the last week.<\/p>\n Murphy told\u00a0BoyleSports: \u201cBen White to Liverpool would make sense but Arsenal might not want to sell to a rival.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Predicting the next manager of every club from Arsenal to Fulham \u2013 who gets Amorim and Maresca?<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cIt would depend on how adamant the player is that he wants to go. If Ben White was an option, I think that would be a good option for Liverpool.<\/p>\n \u201cI think he\u2019s a really good footballer, he\u2019s a big lad. Yes, he\u2019s had a couple of injury problems recently, but he\u2019s an experienced guy, he\u2019s played a lot of games and he can play centre-back and right-back.<\/p>\n \u201cThe obvious good thing for Liverpool would be in that negotiation, if that was something that was to materialise, would be that any player would rather go to Liverpool than Everton, I\u2019m not saying that because I\u2019m a Red, I\u2019m saying that because Liverpool are competing for the Champions League, you know, still in the top four, still in the FA Cup.<\/p>\n \u201cWhereas Everton are obviously out of the FA Cup, they\u2019re not competing for European competitions.<\/p>\n \u201cI wouldn\u2019t see why if Liverpool were keen, then why he wouldn\u2019t try and force that move, having said that I\u2019d find it strange to think that Arsenal would let him go. Or they might just think they\u2019re too far ahead of Liverpool anyway, so we\u2019ll have to see how that plays out.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE ARSENAL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026
