Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to react after the club’s official account posted a photo of Kalvin Phillips and Ben White on international duty.
What was the tweet about?
Leeds added a heartwarming caption to the photo.
It mentioned how Phillips and White were busy winning the Championship around this time last year.
Now, the pair have been selected among the best footballers in the country to represent England at a major tournament.
Now, we can’t recall too many players who have made such huge progress in this short amount of time.
The duo’s rise really has been meteoric, and they deserve everything they’re currently experiencing.
Should Leeds try to re-sign White?
As romantic as it is to see White make the progress he has since leaving Elland Road, an attempt to re-sign him would be foolish.
Marcelo Bielsa has two excellent internationals at centre-back now in Diego Llorente and Robin Koch, who both represent leading nations in Spain and Germany respectively.
Additionally, Bielsa has Liam Cooper – a Scotland international – and Pascal Struijk, who enjoyed a brilliant debut campaign in the Premier League.
Signing White, who is valued between £40 million – £50 million according to The Athletic, would be a serious waste of cash.
As good as he is, the centre-back department is looking very healthy at Elland Road.
Anyway, let’s see what the Leeds fans on Twitter have been saying about the club’s tweet…
