‘Doubt they will’ – Many Leeds fans slam transfer report on ‘huge talent’
Ben White has been one of the standout stars for Leeds United this season so far.
The Brighton defender arrived at Elland Road on loan at the beginning of the campaign relatively unknown. White hadn’t played in the Championship before this year, with loan spells at Newport County and Peterborough the only experience he had under his belt.
Marcelo Bielsa’s system suits White down to a tee, with the 22-year-old great on the ball – something which has seen us go to another level compared to last season.
That success has led to White gaining attention from Premier League sides though, something which could see Leeds lose their man in January.
It has been reported by the Sun that Chelsea have been blown away by the defender during numerous scouting trips this season.
The newspaper claim on their website that the Seagulls could be tempted by a £25million offer and that Chelsea could make an offer as early as next month.
Many Leeds fans took to Twitter to react to the speculation, with the majority of those claiming that it will never happen.
Many of the Leeds fans were adamant that White will not leave Elland Road in January, with the suggestions that the club have to come to an agreement with Brighton to terminate the loan early to allow the defender to become available.

Well, we definitely agree on this one, Leeds would be wrong to let White leave the club by cutting his loan short in January. There is no doubt in our minds that should the Whites want to continue this promotion push, the 22-year-old needs to be at the club as he plays a massive role in that.
