Ben White has enjoyed a magnificent start to life with Leeds United, with the on loan centre-back handed the PFA Fans’ Player of the Month award for August.
Leeds made another fast start to the season under Marcelo Bielsa in August, with White a key part of the Championship’s best defence.
He, and Leeds, have carried that form into September, with Bielsa’s side enjoying a healthy position in the Championship as the table starts to take shape.
This week, FLW were present as White was presented with his PFA award, giving us the opportunity to put some ‘quick-fire’ questions the way of the 21-year-old.
