Interesting map. Has a lot of good attributes.
I’m trying to think of him with, say, Saliba next to him. They would both be good on the ball. Saliba would be able to go forward to overlap with the DM and fullbacks to build up play and leave White back.
But the heading ability between the two would be a glaring weakness on defense. The hope potentially with these profiles of defenders is that you have so much of the ball that you negate these weaknesses
You honestly think there's room for Saliba and White? Remember Arteta's preference (some would say obsession) with a left-footed LCB, and it's hard to think we would keep two young promising RCBs at over 75M total. Think if White does come in that's the writing on the wall for Billie. Just don't think we'll get a good return on our investment, which is probably why they want to loan him next year, hoping he does well and increase his price (although he will then have only 2 years and don't see why he'd extend if he's not given a chance).
