Ben White is absolutely loved by Arsenal fans.
The England international is a tremendous footballer. He has been magnificent for the Gunners for many years now, but that’s not the only reason why he is adored at the Emirates.
White’s ‘dark arts’ is something that has gained a lot of popularity, while his past comments about not liking football have hilariously made him a fan favourite too.
Some of the Arsenal number four’s interviews are a hilarious watch as well, and he has now said something that will surely make you smile, if not burst out in laughter.
Arsenal’s Ben White reveals interesting career plan after retiring from football
White is still only 27 years old.
The Arsenal star has at least seven years left at the top level and we won’t be surprised if he keeps going until he’s 36 or 37 – his fitness level is incredible.
Despite that, White is already thinking of life after football.
Most players turn to a career in punditry these days, while some prefer to stay on the pitch and prepare themselves to become a coach or a manager.
White, unsurprisingly, has no interest in either of those roles.
In an interview with Ben Foster on Amazon Prime Video, the former Brighton man revealed that he is actually thinking of becoming a dog walker after he retires from football.
He said: “Obviously, after football, I don’t really know what I’m going to do yet. I’m actually thinking of being a dog walker, I swear.
“I’m thinking of getting a little van, something like that. I don’t need too much, I’m quite simple. I don’t want to be a pundit or (a coach), no.”
What Ben White needs to do before retiring
It’s good that White is thinking about life after football, but he still has a lot to do on the pitch.
The Englishman is one of Arsenal’s most important players. He has been incredible over the years, but he’s yet to lift a trophy in the famous red and white.
He may not like watching football, but we’re sure White would want to win the Premier League and the Champions League in the coming years at Arsenal.
The Gunners are dreaming of doing both this season, and White will have a big role to play in the two competitions if Arsenal are to go all the way.
Either way, if he does become a dog walker after he hangs up his boots, we would be happy to let him take our pets for a stroll every day.
