Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was full of praise for Ben White after the loss to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
The England centre-back, recently signed from Brighton for £50m, looked comfortable in his first start for the Gunners.
"He was really good," Arteta said of his new signing. "But again, it's a match where they haven't played.
"Some of them they've [only] trained for four or five days. So you can still see and we didn't want to risk many more, but it was a good start.
"To lose any game… to lose against them obviously even more. Take the positives and learn and for the next time be more prepared and better.
"We took a lot of good things. We played with a lot of kids as well who did extremely well today, so I think it's good for the preparation."
