‘Ridiculous’, ‘Outrageous’ – Many Leeds fans lose their minds over one player at HT v Charlton
Leeds United fans have been well and truly blown away by Ben White after the on-loan defender scored a screamer in the first half against Charlton.
White, 22, is playing what is likely to be his last ever match for Leeds but is managing to bow out in true style as he volleyed in the opener at Elland Road on Wednesday night.
White has been as solid as a rock in the defence all season and given Leeds’ lack of cutting edge at corners, he hadn’t scored a single goal up until the clash with Charlton.
However it was definitely worth the wait to see White make the net burst as his rocket of a volley is now surely a goal of the season contender.
Leeds fans have lost their minds over how good White’s goal was. Did anyone seriously think that was in his locker?
Here is a selection of their tweets:
If it wasn’t clear already, Leeds must at least try to sign White from Brighton before next season starts.
We’re fully aware of how difficult it will be because Brighton will want to keep hold of the English centre-back while there are other Premier League clubs who are bound to want to sign him too.
But Leeds do have a big advantage when it comes to trying to sign White and that is because he knows the club, he knows he can play well with these players, he knows he can play well in Marcelo Bielsa’s system and he knows that he’s going to be adored by the Elland Road faithful no matter what.
