Arsenal are happy to wait another week to complete the signing of Brighton defender Ben White.

The Daily Mail says Arsenal expect White to have a medical around July 26 when he returns from holiday.

The 23-year-old Brighton and England defender is due to sign for Arsenal after they agreed a £50million deal on Friday.

A breakthrough in negotiations saw Arsenal agree to give Brighton a guaranteed £50m, with no add ons, while Brighton have also inserted a sell-on clause.

Arsenal succeeded with their third bid after offers worth £40m and £47m with various add-ons were rejected.
