Brighton boss Graham Potter says Ben White will prove a success at Arsenal.
White returns to Falmer stadium on Saturday for the first time since his move to the Gunners this summer.
Potter remains a big admirer of his former player and believes the big-money summer transfer was good business for all parties.
“Whenever you move club, it's not a straightforward situation, it's not so easy to hit the ground running," said Potter, referring to White's underwhelming Arsenal debut.
“I think Arsenal as a team had a tough game against Brentford, but that was the first game of the season and they had lots of issues in terms of covid, so it was not the perfect situation for him.
“But Ben 's a resilient character, a fantastic footballer, a great guy, we all love him here, so apart from obviously the weekend we wish him well – and I'm sure he will do well.
“It (the transfer) was one of those things, I think everybody won from that situation: we got a good fee, they got a good player, Ben gets a chance to play at a club that he sees as a progression for him, so everybody wins."
