Harry Redknapp, the former manager of Tottenham Hotspur, was not pleased with Ben White’s decision to decline an England call-up. White plays defense for Arsenal.

Ben White of Arsenal has come under fire from Harry Redknapp for declining an England call-up. The defender’s international career ought to come to an end, according to the former Tottenham Hotspur boss.

A berth in the most recent England team was reportedly up for grabs for White, 26, ahead of friendlies against Brazil and Belgium. Nevertheless, Gareth Southgate’s side did not include the adaptable defender, despite his strong play with the Gunners.

The England manager revealed that he had spoken with Arsenal, who clarified that White had expressed his desire not to be included in the most recent selection. Harry Redknapp responded to this admission by telling Southgate not to select White for upcoming squads.

“I believe Gareth Southgate stated that the door is still open. “The door needs to be slammed hard in his mush,” Redknapp stated to talkSPORT, as the Mirror stated. “He attends the World Cup but returns home because he isn’t selected for the team, even though he doesn’t want to play for his country.

“I apologize, but you’ve already got your chance. Are you against playing for England? Tell the world’s Bobby Moores, who has more than a hundred caps. Go tell the Billy Bonds of this world, who should have received a cap but didn’t, and all those outstanding players who you don’t want to represent your nation, the Shiltons, the Beckhams, and the Rooneys. I find it repulsive and am unable to consume it.”

For personal reasons, White had already quit the England team during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The defender is a near constant for Arsenal, who have the greatest defensive record in the Premier League. He has four caps for the Three Lions. This season, the defender has been in outstanding form for Arsenal.
