Fans of Manchester City have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays reports that claim City are among a number of clubs interested in Leeds United centre-back Ben White.
According to reports in The Athletic, Manchester United and Liverpool are also keen on the Brighton loanee, with Liverpool talent scout Andy O’Brien having reportedly tracked White throughout this season, while both Manchester City and United have registered an interest in the £4.95 million-rated 22-year-old.
In reaction to the reports, which were relayed by Man City Xtra on Twitter, fans of the club have flocked to have their say on the matter, with many suggesting that they would love to see White move to City this summer, while some, in comparison, have suggested that they don’t want the defender.
Would you like to see City sign Ben White this summer?

Manchester City and Manchester United are both 'keen' on Leeds United centre-back Ben White (22) – on-loan from Brighton & Hove Albion – while Liverpool have also been monitoring his progress.

What do we think?
It would appear that the vast majority of City fans would like to see their club make a move for the centre-back this summer, and after looking at the defender’s stats, it is not difficult to understand why.
So far this season, White has started in all 37 of Leeds’ Championship fixtures, providing two assists, and averaging a WhoScored match rating of 7.05.
As such, at just 22 years of age, it is no wonder why many of England’s biggest clubs are reportedly interested in the centre-back, and likewise, why so many City fans would like to see him move to their club.
