Ben White joined Leeds United on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window.
White, who can also operate as a right-back, joined Championship club Leeds on loan from Premier League outfit Brighton in the summer transfer window.
The 22-year-old has established himself as an important player in head coach Marcelo Bielsa’s side and has been one of the best defenders in the Championship.

White has said that he is enjoying his time at Leeds, as quoted on the club’s official Twitter page.
Ben: “It’s been really good and I’m really enjoying my time at the club. It’s been different to what I’m used to but it’s good. My debut was the biggest game in my career so far, but hopefully I’ll have bigger games to come in the near future.” pic.twitter.com/cKS93dyH1M

Permanent Leeds United move?
White is progressing and developing well at Leeds, and it would make sense for the West Yorkshire outfit to sign the defender on a permanent contract at the end of his loan spell.
Perhaps Brighton will not want to sell the 22-year-old and will want him to be part of their team in the Premier League, but Leeds should at least try to make his loan deal permanent.
