Arsenal have seen off late competition from Chelsea to agree terms for Brighton defender Ben White.

The Sun says the Gunners have committed to paying Albion's full asking price of £50million.

That is after they previously had bids of £40m and £42m rejected.

The breakthrough is a huge boost for Mikel Arteta, who saw off late interest from Chelsea, in his plans to revamp his Arsenal squad this summer after a poor campaign.

Brighton plan to use a significant chunk of the money from their record sale into buying a new striker.
