Arsenal fans have all been amused by Ben White’s latest antics as he was spotted playing a joke on Martin Odegaard.
Ben White and Martin Odegaard are two of the most trusted figures in Mikel Arteta’s squad.
If the Arsenal duo are fit, they practically always start for the Gunners, and they are loved by the supporters of the North London club.
Odegaard is the club captain, and leads by example on the pitch for the Gunners. The Norwegian is able match his technical skill and creative influence with incredible work rate off the ball, as he leads and orchestrates the team’s press.
Meanwhile, White has established himself as Arsenal’s starting right-back. The former Brighton man has developed a great on-pitch relationship with Odegaard and Bukayo Saka, and is able to make an impact in the final third whilst also offering defensive solidity. On top of that, White has a reputation as Arsenal’s master of the dark arts.
Not only is White able to effectively wind up opponents, but he is not above pranking his own teammates either, as he recently showed whilst doing a warm up training exercise with Odegaard.
In fan footage posted to X, Odegaard was spotted approaching White for a handshake, who snubbed the skipper in comedic fashion.
