Liam Cooper on how the Thorp Arch atmosphere has helped Ben White adjust at Leeds United

On loan Leeds United defender Ben White has caught the eye of his side's captain Liam Cooper. 

White is on loan at the Elland Road club from Brighton & Hove Albion for the season and has slotted in alongside Cooper at the heart of the United defence.

And Cooper believes that the 22-year-old is playing like someone who has made 500 career games and has been "different class" so far this season.

"He's brilliant. He's still a young lad, but he plays like he's made 500 career games," Cooper told LUTV .

"That's the type of confidence he has in himself."

The Whites skipper, who is currently recovering from a groin problem, also believes the atmosphere at Thorp Arch has helped White to adjust to his new surroundings.

"He's come into a very good team, a very welcoming team and he's settled straight away to be honest.

"He's been different class."

Marcelo Bielsa's side are understood not to have an option to keep White on a permanent basis this summer, with Liverpool this weekend linked with a move for the youngster.
