Leeds United fans are fully aware of the talent Ben White possesses. The central defender has been in fine form for the Whites since arriving on loan from Brighton in the summer as a replacement for Pontus Jansson. 

The 22-year-old hs performed brilliantly at Elland Road, winning the PFA Player of the Month award in August because of his displays. 

Composed on the ball but an excellent reader of the game White looks like a potential superstar in the making. In fact, Leeds United fans are fairly certain he will be a future England international. 

That is a feeling seemingly shared by a member of the current Leeds United coaching staff. At least, that is according to BBC 5 Live presenter and journalist Jacqui Oatley. 

She was at the Madejski Stadium on Tuesday for Leeds’ 1-0 win over Reading and it was clear she was impressed by the player and revealed what a Leeds coach told her about the youngster.

There is no doubt that White has all the attributes to go on and play for his nation. Leeds fans will just be disappointed they do not have any permanent option included in any deal for the player. 

It seems as though Brighton will want White back at the end of the season and Leeds would face a big battle to secure his permanent signature. 

Leeds fans will just hope White can help take Leeds back to the Premier League this season.
