Ben White makes admission about former Leeds United teammate in social media post

Brighton defender Ben White has taken to social media to declare he misses former Leeds United teammate Olly Casey, following his departure from Elland Road.

The defender spent last season on loan with Marcelo Bielsa's side, where he played a huge part in the club's successful push to clinch promotion to the Premier League.

Leeds were keen to sign White on a permanent basis but Brighton were unwilling to negotiate, which eventually led Bielsa's side to seek alternative options.

Instead, Robin Koch and Diego Llorente were drafted in to rejuvenate the defence ahead of their return to the top-flight.

Meanwhile, White has been a mainstay in Brighton's defence since his return to the Amex Stadium, featuring in all four Premier League matches so far this term.

However, he has made it clear he still has close ties at Leeds by taking to social media to declare that he misses Casey.

The 19-year-old centre-back has made two senior appearances for Leeds, most recently in the EFL Cup penalty shootout defeat to Hull City.
