Leeds United have taken Ben White on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion for the season, and he has impressed at Elland Road so far.
White has been in impressive form for Leeds so far this season, with his performances reportedly attracting attention.
But, as of yet, Brighton have not been made aware of any interest and even if offers were submitted, Graham Potters’s side want to keep hold of the ball playing centre-back.
That could be a blow to Leeds, if they were plotting a permanent transfer.
White has proven himself to be ideally suited to Marcelo Bielsa’s possession style of football, with his performances at the back highly impressive.
In truth Leeds were likely to have to earn promotion to have any chance of signing White, but it now appears that even if they are a Premier League side next term, getting the 21-year-old would be virtually impossible.
Brighton have played with a very patient style since Potter took charge, and White could well be well suited to making an impact with the Seagulls when he does return to their first-team.
Leeds will now be looking to make the most of having White in their squad, and will be hoping that he can maintain his high quality of performance for the remainder of his loan spell at Elland Road.
