‘Oozes class’, ‘Wants to stay’ – Many Leeds fans react to Sky Sports video with Ben White
A young Leeds United fan recently got the chance to video call with Ben White after sending Brighton a letter asking if the Whites can sign the defender permanently.
Sky Sports made that possible and managed to question White himself about his future during the call – something he wasn’t very definitive on.
The 22-year-old claimed it would be a dream for both Brighton and Leeds to be in the Premier League next season, but didn’t clear up who he would be playing for.
That video clearly got Leeds fans excited with the prospect of the Whites making the youngster’s loan move a permanent one.
It may be hard to do just that, with Liverpool and Manchester City just a couple of the clubs tracking the progress of White throughout this season [The Athletic].
Andrea Radrizzani has already confirmed that he will be lodging an offer to keep White at Elland Road past this season, much to the delight of fans in West Yorkshire.
On top of the competition from elsewhere, Brighton have already come out and admitted that they see the defender having a future at the club, meaning it would certainly take a big-money offer to take him off their hands.
Despite that, many Leeds fans believe that this latest video and interview could prove that he already has one foot in the club past this season. Time will tell.
