“He’s the best English player in Premier League now but what he did was so unprofessional…He has to be banned”: Jamie O’Hara not happy with what £150k-a-week Arsenal star has done at international duty
The September international break is finally a memory and Arsenal can get back to business in arguably the biggest fixture in their calendar.
The North London derby awaits the Gunners on Sunday, with a trip to Tottenham Hotspur on the cards.
Admittedly, Arsenal haven’t had the best international break, with several key players either doubts or unavailable for the Spurs game.
Now, one Gunners player who didn’t even take part in international action has found himself under scrutiny once again.
Jamie O’Hara has taken aim at the Arsenal player for a decision he made two years ago that continues to be in place to this day.
Jamie O’Hara slates Arsenal star Ben White
The player in question is Ben White, who turned down the opportunity to play for England this month.
The Arsenal defender has not been selected for a Three Lions squad since leaving the 2022 World Cup camp midway through the tournament due to personal reasons.
England interim manager Lee Carsley recently told reporters, per the Evening Standard: “I’ve not planned to [speak to White], no.
“We spoke about this in the squad selection. Every player that’s eligible to play for England is in with a chance. As far as I’m aware, he has asked to be not contacted.”
