Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to react after Ben White revealed his favourite stadium, and it isn’t the home of Arsenal.
What’s the story?
Well, in a fresh interview with Arsenal, White said that his favourite stadium is a full Elland Road, not the Emirates Stadium.
We wonder how Arsenal fans feel about that.
Understandably, the Leeds supporters loved hearing this.
White said: “I’d probably say a full Leeds stadium. Obviously I played there two years ago and that was probably my first experience of a full stadium and a lively crowd.”
We like how he makes sure to say a ‘full’ Elland Road, instead of the lifeless arena we were all forced to watch from our living rooms during lockdown.
When Elland Road has sold every ticket in the house, it’s quite the place.
Raucous doesn’t do it justice – the stadium is rocking, quite literally at times.
Could Ben White return to Leeds after Arsenal?
Clearly, the England international still holds Leeds close to his heart.
After all, why wouldn’t he?
White arguably experienced the best season of his career in Yorkshire, winning the Championship whilst putting his name up in lights.
The £50m man’s agent also admitted his client was ‘disappointed’ not to seal a return to Leeds after returning to Brighton.
That spoke volumes, but it was even more telling given the fact he had been at Brighton since 2014, and they helped build him into the player he now is.
Clearly, Leeds had a big impact on the defender.
Perhaps one day, if Arsenal continue to struggle while Leeds grow, we could see White back in Yorkshire.
For now, let’s see what the Leeds fans have been saying about his comments on Elland Road…
