Leeds United fans have been reacting to claims about a potential move for former defender Ben White.

White, valued at £25.2m on Transfermarkt, had a very impressive year on loan at Elland Road back in 2019/20, playing almost every minute of every game as Leeds won promotion back to the Premier League and earning the club’s Young Player of the Year award along the way, on top of being part of the PFA Championship Team of The Year.

This news was relayed to fans via the Leeds Insider Facebook page, where there seemed to be plenty who agreed on not making a move for him, so content were they with the players that they had:
