Many Leeds United supporters have flocked to Twitter to respond to a post from @SkySportsPL leading to a story regarding Ben White.

The report states that the 22-year-old is considering his future following a successful loan spell at Elland Road. The centre-back is due to return to Brighton and Hove Albion officially at the end of this month and it remains unclear what the future holds for the £4.95m-rated defender.

Nice easy one to start off with, from which club did Leeds sign Hernandez?

White played a key role for Marcelo Bielsa’s side during their Championship-winning campaign, he started every single league game for the Yorkshire-based club and didn’t miss a single minute of football (as per Transfermarkt.co.uk).

Here is how a sample of the Leeds faithful have responded to the post on the social media platform.

Are you hopeful Ben White will return to Elland Road?

Yes

Yes

No

No

It’s clear from the above responses that these fans believe Ben White has been performing at such a high level he deserves a move to a bigger club than Brighton. Many continued to respond to the post, making their feelings known on the player and his future.

White’s average performance rating in the Championship last season was an impressive 7.09/10, making him Bielsa’s fifth-most consistent performer only behind Luke Ayling, Pablo Hernandez, Kalvin Phillips and Liam Cooper. Taking all of the above into account, we suspect if Brighton do decide to sell the player, they may be looking for significantly more than his quoted transfer value.
