Arsenal are back in pre-season training and there are a few players who are really standing out already.

Kai Havertz has seriously bulked up over the summer, and fans have noticed that transformation in the German.

Meanwhile, Christian Norgaard has already impressed with an assist in Arsenal training as he set up Mikel Merino for a tidy goal.

Mikel Arteta has been putting his players through their paces, and one drill that he put on for his players was an agility test.

A number of players looked incredibly sharp during this test, but one man in particular stood out.

Ben White smashes pre-season agility test

Stat Sports were on hand to record the pre-season agility test at Arsenal this week.

The video was uploaded to TikTok, and in the caption they noted how Ben White was one of the best performers in this drill, writing:

‘If you watch Benjamin White’s attempt in the video you can see how smooth/quick his deceleration/acceleration is at the turn, a sign of a player with excellent COD speed.’

Watching the footage, it’s fair to say that White looked incredibly sharp here.

Don’t just take our word for it though, the Arsenal coaches were also impressed by White in this drill, with one exclaiming:

“Well done Ben, excellent, well done.”

White looks sharp heading into this season, and that’s a good sign for Arsenal.

What Martin Odegaard said about Ben White in training

Ben White is shining in pre-season training, and that’s not surprising to see.

Indeed, the defender has been noted as one of the best trainers at Arsenal for some time now, with Martin Odegaard noting how hard White works in training.

“Which player is the most intense in training, they give it 100%, they treat it like it’s a final,” Odegaard was asked.

“There are quite a few to be fair, I’m going to go with Ben White,” Odegaard said.

White has a big fight on his hands for a starting spot at Arsenal this season, but, by the looks of things, he’s very much up for the task that is ahead of him.
