Ben White could have dropped big hint by sharing Instagram video of Leeds action
The ongoing transfer saga between Leeds United and Brighton over Ben White appears to be burning on.
Leeds have had a number of bids rejected for the defender, who has also turned down numerous new contract offers at the AMEX Stadium [Sky Sports].
The Whites will have been shocked to learn that the Seagulls have now placed a crazy £55million valuation on the defender on Wednesday.
White remains Marcelo Bielsa’s priority at Elland Road and there’s no doubting why after his superb season in the Championship.
Angus Kinnear has backed up that claim but did admit that Leeds won’t wait around forever in their pursuit of the 22-year-old.
Much could depend on what White wants. It is said that he would be keen on a move back to West Yorkshire if he can’t sign a new deal at Brighton, and he may have just dropped his biggest hint yet.
The silky defender has posted a near five-minute compilation of his highlights in a Leeds shirt on his personal Instagram account, simply captioned with a smiley face emoji.

This video clearly sent Leeds fans into overdrive on Wednesday, with one even commenting, “big move pending”.
Obviously, it still demands a huge sum to bring White to Elland Road, but that doesn’t seem to have put Leeds off at this stage.
Robin Koch of Freiburg has been singled out as an alternative, with the German international available for a much-cheaper price this summer.
This is a good sign but could be taken one of two ways.
Either White is dropping a big hint over his future, or he is waving goodbye to the best chapter in his career so far – we cross our fingers for the first.
