'He's going to play for England one day' Patrick Bamford's bold prediction for Leeds United teammate

Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford is tipping centre-back Ben White to one day represent his country and play for England.

White, on loan from Premier League outfit Brighton & Hove Albion, has been an outstanding performer for Marcelo Bielsa's charges this season, proving himself as one of the best defender's in the Championship this term.

In an amusing game of 'Who's Who' for Sky Sports, Whites duo Bamford and Ayling put the knowledge of their teammates to the test, with the pair each taking it in turn to guess who the other was describing.

When it came to Ayling turning around a card that had White's name on, it was Bamford's turn to drop hints for his teammate to try and guess just who it was on the card.

When Ayling revealed the card with White's name on, Bamford, who scored twice in Leeds United's 3-2 win over Millwall at Elland Road on Tuesday evening, said: "He's going to play for England one day, probably."

Initially, Ayling thought Bamford was referring to midfield star Kalvin Phillips before immediately after guessing White.

Since joining from Brighton back in the summer, White, who had never played at Championship level before this season, has racked up 32 appearances and contributed to 13 clean sheets.

Elsewhere in the video, Bamford needed to use just two words to describe midfield architect Pablo Hernandez to Ayling before the right-back guessed right.

Bamford said: "He's magic."

There was also plenty of mentions of the Leeds players' Christmas party, with Bamford, on more than one occasion, saying: "Christmas do, he was there, but he wasn't there," suggesting that a memorable night was had by all.

Bamford made the reference for both Stuart Dallas and Adam Forshaw.

Leeds are back in action on Saturday when they host Wigan at Elland Road.
