Tony Cascarino has likened Arsenal defender Ben White to Paul McGrath.

Cascarino played with McGrath at Aston Villa and for the Republic of Ireland.

He told talkSPORT: “Ben White has settled in brilliantly now, he's far more assured than when he first arrived at the Emirates.

“When you have a player that do simple things, move it, get it, give it to someone, who can do the things you can't…

“Paul McGrath was one of the best I ever played with who was like that, Paul McGrath never ran past people and he played in Ben White's position.

“He was not a player that would dribble or do brilliant technical things but he was fantastic at keeping that ball and moving it simply.

“Ben White has got a bit of that in him and if he keeps developing, Ben White will certainly make the England team on a regular as a starter."
