Ben White is a centre back who can also play right back and defensive midfield. We signed him from Brighton, paying 50m for him. I'd never heard of him either.
So are you saying you have done some detailed analysis of the 2 players and can conclude one is better than the other for the needs Arsenal FC have identified?
I must admit I know nothing about Tapsoba, but I did know Ben White as one the best defenders in the PL last year.
I honestly hadn't heard of either, but both were regulars for their teams last season and one is said to be a 'footballing' centre back who isn't very good in the air and the other is 6'4 and said to be a beast. Guess which one I wanted?
The latter was about half the price too, meaning more money could be spent on other positions.
