Ben White sends Leeds United message amid talk of Brighton & Hove Albion exit

Ben White has sent a Leeds United message after Brighton & Hove Albion's 2-0 win at the weekend.

The Seagulls secured the double over the Whites thanks to goals either side of half-time from Pascal Gross and Danny Welbeck.

It was a rare off-day from Marcelo Bielsa 's men, whose eight-match unbeaten streak came to its conclusion at the Amex Stadium.

White played the full 90 minutes for Brighton in his second outing against Leeds since leaving the Yorkshire club at the end of last season.

The 23-year-old quickly established himself as a fan favourite at Elland Road during his loan spell from the Seagulls, where he helped the Whites clinch the Championship title.

Now, White has shared an Instagram story where he can be seen having a conversation with Leeds right-back Luke Ayling.

White simply put a blue love heart emoji above the image on his story.

The Brighton centre-back has impressed in the Premier League this season which has seen him linked with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United this summer.

Speaking before Leeds' defeat to Brighton, former goalkeeper Paul Robinson predicted White to move from the Amex this summer.

“I’m very, very surprised that other suitors didn’t come in for him," Former Whites shot-stopper Robinson said on Amazon Prime Video.

"I expect they will do so at the end of this season.

"Disappointing for Leeds, I’d love to be able say Leeds would have been able to keep him, but regardless of Brighton’s plight this season, he’ll be moving on.”

White was an ever-present figure in Bielsa's team last season, with the versatile defender featuring in all 46 Championship matches.
