Since David Luiz's contract expired last month and French teenager William Saliva was loaned out to Ligue 1 club Marseille, Mikel Arteta's team has been looking for a right-sided centre back.
White was Arteta's top summer target, and after several weeks of talks in which Brighton turned down two Arsenal bids, Sky Sports News confirmed that the two clubs had agreed on a £50 million transfer.
White had a vacation in Greece after his involvement with England's incredible journey to the Euro 2020 final this summer, thus the anticipated move was postponed.
The England star has returned to the United Kingdom, and according to the Daily Mail, he will face medical tests this weekend before finalizing his £50 million transfer to the Emirates Stadium.
White has already signed personal terms with the Gunners ahead of a five-year contract, and all that remains is for him to pass his medicals before the deal can be made official.
