Another explosive quote is flying around — but just like the previous one… it doesn’t quite pass the smell test.
The claim says Ben White admitted to conceding a “cheap penalty” and revealed he’s now furious with Mikel Arteta, even hinting at leaving Arsenal FC next season.
💬 “What Arteta told me after the match has really got me angry and I’m ready to leave…”
Sounds dramatic… maybe too dramatic 👀
🚫 Why this is likely NOT real news:
👉 There’s no credible interview or official source backing this quote
👉 Players almost never go public immediately after matches to criticize their manager like this
👉 Arteta is known for handling issues internally, not through public confrontations
👉 Emotional “I’m ready to leave” reactions right after a game are classic clickbait patterns
Yes, mistakes happen — a penalty, a bad decision — that’s football ⚽
But turning that into instant dressing room rebellion? That’s a stretch.
🧠 What’s more realistic:
If Arsenal FC dropped points against Atlético Madrid:
- The discussion would stay inside the dressing room
- The manager would address it privately
- The player would focus on responding on the pitch, not in headlines
🔍 The bigger picture:
This looks like another viral story designed to:
🔥 Stir fan reactions
🔥 Create division
🔥 Generate clicks
Until you see confirmation from trusted journalists or official club statements, it’s best to treat this as unverified noise.
👉 No confirmed fallout
👉 No verified quote
👉 No evidence Ben White wants to leave
Just football rumors doing what they do best 😅
