On-loan Leeds United defender Ben White has been tremendous ever since joining from Brighton for the season.

White came into the Leeds side as the replacement for Swedish international Pontus Jansson, who joined Championship rivals Brentford in the summer.

Many fans would have thought this was a somewhat underwhelming signing from Marcelo Bielsa, given the impact that Jansson had at Leeds, as well as the fact that White had never played as high as the Championship before.

However, this thought has soon been forgotten with White putting in consistently accomplished performances throughout the season at centre-back for Leeds. White has been an ever-present for Leeds so far, making 16 appearances and helping Leeds to boast the league’s meanest defence with just nine goals conceded and eight clean sheets.

The dilemma that Leeds face is that White isn’t their player and big names are having their heads turned by his great performances in a Leeds shirt.

Most notably, Premier League giants Liverpool and Manchester United have been keeping tabs on the Brighton defender of late, according to the Athletic.

Statistically, Leeds as a whole are impressing defensively but White is doing so individually as he currently holds the record for the most interceptions this season in England’s top four tiers.
