Ben White joined Leeds United on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window.

LEEDS, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 21:

Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa has spoken highly of Brighton and Hove Albion-owned defender Ben White to Leeds Live.

Bielsa has said that White, who joined the West Yorkshire outfit on loan from Premier League club Brighton in the summer transfer window, is a “great player”.

The Leeds head coach has stated that the 21-year-old – who can operate as a central defender or a right-back – does not make mistakes while taking risks.

Bielsa told Leeds Live about White: “He’s a great player. He takes risks and he doesn’t make mistakes. That’s the most difficult thing in football. It’s easy when you take risks.

“It’s normal to make mistakes when you take risks. The best players risk and don’t make mistakes. Everything seems White is in this band.”

Important player for Leeds United

White has been superb for Leeds and has taken to the Championship like a duck to water.

The 21-year-old has established himself as an important player in the Whites’ team and is regular in the starting lineup.

The defender is calm and composed on the ball, and he does not make a lot of mistakes while taking risks.

Leeds have signed a gem, and with White playing so well at the back, the West Yorkshire outfit will be confident of finishing in the top two of the Championship table this season.
