Leeds United duo nominated for Championship player of the month award

Leeds United duo Ben White and Patrick Bamford have both been nominated for the PFA Championship Fans' Player of the Month award for August.

Despite suffering their first defeat of the season on Saturday and dropping down to third place in the early Championship table, Leeds have begun the season in fine form, with centre-back White and forward Bamford helping Marcelo Bielsa's side win four of their first six games so far this year.

White arrived earlier this summer on loan from Premier League Brighton & Hove Albion having never played above League One level, but has come straight into Bielsa's starting XI and barely put a foot wrong, playing every single minute of the Championship campaign so far.

At the other end of the pitch Bamford is reaping the rewards of an injury-free start to the year and a full pre-season under Bielsa and has netted four times in Leeds' opening six league fixtures, also chipping in with an assist.

The Leeds duo are both up for the fans vote alongside Swansea forward Borja Baston, Hull City's Jarrod Bowen, Daniel Taylor of Preston and Charlton Athletic's Lyle Taylor.

Fans can vote here with voting closing at 8am on Wednesday September 4.
