Arsenal defender Ben White has signed a new four-year contract with the club.
The 26-year-old joined the Gunners for a fee of £50m in 2021 and is a key part of boss Mikel Arteta's side, playing at right-back and centre-back.
He played in midweek as Arsenal reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time in 14 years by beating Porto.
"It's great news that Ben is committing his future to the club, Ben is a key player for us," said Arteta.
"He's a top professional with a winning mentality, and one of the guys who leads by example every day.
"Ben's ability, determination and positive attitude are so important, but he is also a great character and human being. We all look forward to continue working with Ben in the coming years."
Since joining from Brighton, White has made 97 Premier League appearances, scoring four goals.
He has played 27 times in the league this season with the Gunners top of the table, above Liverpool on goal difference.
