Paul Merson disappointed in Ben White
Merson spoke about the man and his England career.
“I think if Ben White was playing he wouldn’t have walked away,” Merson said.
“I think he looked at it and thought he wasn’t going to play. Walker is a shoo-in, there, Reece James was unfortunate not to go. I hope that doesn’t happen (other players walking away from England), I was disappointed when Ben White did it to be honest, the lad is a good player, if you look now he probably would have played.”
Ben White could be back soon
Ben White could soon be back in the fold in the England set-up.
Gareth Southgate’s departure will spark the dawn of a new era for the national team, and the new manager may well have plans for White.
Southgate and White seemingly didn’t get on too well, but now, with a new manager set to be appointed, Ben White could soon be back in the England fold.
White is one of the best and most versatile defenders in the Premier League, and it’s fair to say that England could use a player like this in the future.
