Ben White joined Leeds United on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window.
Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa has spoken highly of Ben White to Leeds Live.
Bielsa has been impressed with the displays produced by White, who joined Leeds on loan from Premier League outfit Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window.
The 22-year-old central defender did not have any experience of playing in the Championship prior to his move to Elland Road, but the youngster – who can also operate as a right-back – has taken to the second tier of English football like a duck to water.
According to WhoScored, the defender has played 14 times in the Championship and twice in the EFL Cup for the West Yorkshire outfit so far this season, and Leeds head coach Bielsa has been impressed.
Bielsa told Leeds Live about White: “It’s a high performance from him. It’s very difficult to keep this level in a long period and he is achieving this. Analysis is positive.”
Back in action
Leeds will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Queens Park Rangers at Elland Road in the Championship.
The Whites are third in the league table at the moment with 25 points from 14 matches, two points behind leaders West Bromwich Albion.
