I'm confused by this news as I thought it broke during the Euros, although maybe this is just the official offer and previously it was just an indication they were going to? I'm sure I saw White or someone break it a month ago.

Yes, good song. And the one I thought of when I saw his name. But the one I posted was the first one that came up on YouTube when I typed his name in.
A bid has been mooted all summer, it was a fairly safe prediction to go for, but the day after the tweet you posted (which was widely shared), Villa announced that they hadn't received any bid from anyone. Last week, Villa were still discussing new terms with him, in the hope of convincing him to stay with them. If it's true that a £100m bid has gone in now, you'd expect him to be on his way soon.
Yeah for sure. I guess my musing was whether there was some sort of clause in his release that only activated on 1 August but as you say maybe just more discussions in the background now culminating.
I thought the defender might be announced today, he could feasibly play as a trialist for us tonight or tomorrow.

Arsenal have completed the signing of Ben White from Brighton in a £50m deal. Trent Alexander-Arnold has signed a new contract with Liverpool until 2025.
