Two Transfer Windows in One

Alex explained that the current transfer window has felt like two separate windows, with many moves delayed or complicated by the ongoing profit and sustainability rules that are shaping club decisions. The market has been exceptionally busy, but New Vision Football has managed to stay focused on representing their players with a holistic 360-degree approach to their lives, rather than just business.

A Small, Managed Company with Big Impact

Despite the challenges, Alex highlighted that New Vision Football keeps the company small and manageable. They represent their players with a comprehensive approach, covering every aspect of their lives, from contract negotiations to off-the-pitch matters like personal affairs and even family support. With no shareholders to answer to, New Vision Football can ensure that deals are done for the right players at the right time—not driven by profit but by the players' best interests.

The Saturated Market of Football Agents

One of the biggest challenges in today’s market is the sheer number of football agents. According to Alex, the market is incredibly saturated, with agents of all levels trying to navigate the complex landscape. However, New Vision Football continues to retain clients because they focus on making the right decisions for the right reasons—and most importantly, caring about their players. Alex emphasized that money is a by-product, not the primary focus.

More Than Just Transfers: The Role of a Football Agent

Football agents, Alex explained, do much more than negotiate deals. They are deeply involved in managing their players' lives both on and off the pitch. Ben White has been with New Vision Football for over ten years, and Alex and his team manage a significant part of Ben’s life beyond football. This allows Ben to focus on what matters most—training, matches, and spending time with friends and family.

The Reality of Transfer Negotiations

Not all transfers are planned for months in advance, and the transfer process can be reactive with many variables coming into play. Alex noted that sometimes, especially in the final days of the transfer window, things can get wild, with agents like those at New Vision Football often having long, late nights. However, when honesty and transparency are present, transfer negotiations tend to run smoothly, particularly when all parties share the same end goal.

The Importance of Data in Transfer Negotiations

Alex also shared that New Vision Football doesn’t simply pull transfer figures out of thin air. They rely heavily on statistical data—including comparisons with other players—to ensure that the fees discussed are realistic and grounded in reliable market values.

Ben White’s Potential Return to England

On the topic of Ben White’s potential return to the England squad, Alex confirmed that both Ben and New Vision Football are keeping quiet for now regarding any updates. He mentioned that they will keep the reasons for their privacy confidential, leaving speculation to the media and fans for the time being.

At New Vision Football, the focus is on making sure that every decision made is in the best interests of the players, ensuring long-term success both on and off the pitch.

Football transfers are rarely straightforward, and Ben White’s situation at Brighton was no exception. Speaking on the panel of The Transfer Show, Alex Levack, owner of New Vision Football and Ben White’s agent, shared insights into the negotiations and challenges that shaped the defender’s future.

Leeds’ Interest & Brighton’s Stance

After an impressive loan spell at Leeds United, Ben White became a key transfer target for the club. However, Brighton were firm in their decision not to sell, despite Leeds’ strong interest. This left Ben in a difficult position, having enjoyed his time at Leeds but ultimately respecting Brighton’s decision.

A Long & Complex Negotiation

The process dragged on, with Ben’s priority being regular game time and understanding Brighton’s plans for him. In the end, he signed a four-year deal at the Amex, securing his future at the club. While there was initial disappointment, he quickly refocused and committed himself fully to Brighton.

The Realities of Football Transfers

Alex Levack also highlighted the challenges of transfer negotiations, explaining that even if a player submits a transfer request, it doesn’t guarantee a move. In some cases, such actions can strain relationships with clubs, making the situation even more complicated.

The Role of a Football Agent

Alex went on to explain that being a football agent is about more than just negotiating transfers. It’s a complex role with many responsibilities. At New Vision Football, the agency offers a 360 service to clients, providing everything from legal and financial services to helping players with personal matters like booking holidays or even relocating their children when they move clubs. Sometimes, agents even become a confidant or “agony aunt” when players need someone to talk to after a tough day.

Ben White’s Bright Future at Brighton

For Ben White, staying at Brighton turned out to be the best possible outcome, allowing him to continue developing at a Premier League club that valued him highly. His journey is a testament to patience, professionalism, and the unpredictability of the transfer market.

At New Vision Football, we understand that every player’s career path is unique. Whether securing a move or staying put, the focus is always on what’s best for the player’s long-term success.

The world of football transfers is often filled with speculation, negotiations, and intense discussions behind the scenes. For Alex Levack, owner of New Vision Football and agent to Ben White, securing the defender’s move from Brighton to Arsenal was a meticulous process that required patience, expertise, and a deep understanding of the market.

The Challenge of the Deal

Alex explains that one of the biggest hurdles in the negotiation was agreeing on the fee and the structure of the deal. Brighton were reluctant to sell and did not want to provide external validation of the player’s value. However, both clubs remained professional throughout the process, ensuring that the final agreement was beneficial for all parties involved.

Arsenal’s Impressive Scouting Process

Arsenal’s long-standing interest in Ben White was no surprise. Their scouting process is a blend of AI, video scouting, live scouting, and advanced data analysis, allowing them to identify and secure top talent. The club’s recruitment approach, combined with their professionalism in negotiations, made them a fantastic team to work with.

A Dream Come True for Ben White

For Ben, this move represents a huge milestone in his career. Stepping into the Emirates Stadium as an Arsenal player, alongside receiving an England call-up, has been a surreal moment for him. “He’s pinching himself,” Alex explained, emphasising just how much this opportunity means to the defender.

A Bright Future Ahead

Alex Levack sees this as just the beginning for Ben White. “This is a fantastic foundation for him to really show everyone what he is about,” he said. With his talent, work ethic, and the platform Arsenal provides, Ben has all the tools to make a lasting impact at the highest level.

At New Vision Football, we take pride in supporting players through every stage of their careers, ensuring they are placed in environments where they can flourish and succeed. Ben White’s move to Arsenal is a testament to that mission.
