Keith Andrews and Andy Hinchcliffe believe Ben White will return to Brighton and Hove Albion and become a key part of their first team plans next season.
The centre-back has enjoyed an excellent campaign at Leeds United, after joining on loan from Brighton last summer.
White has played every minute for this season as Marcelo Bielsa's bid to return to the Premier League for the first time since 2003/2004.
His impressive performances have seen him linked with a move to one of the top six clubs in the country, with Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City all reportedly interested.
Leeds are also keen to keep the highly-rated defender on a permanent basis, but EFL pundit Andrews believes the Whites have little chance of signing the 22-year-old.
"For me, he'll be in that Brighton team next season without a shadow of a doubt because with the market the way it's probably going to go in the summer, I don't think they will get the price that would make them sell," he said on Sky Sports.
"When you look at the profile again, what attributes has he got? He's Graham Potter's type of centre-half. We've seen it in his Ostersunds side, we've seen it at Swansea and the centre-half he bought at Brighton, Webster, has similar types of characteristics, so you can tell the type of centre-half he likes.
"I would imagine Ben White fits really nicely into that."
Hinchcliffe also agreed with his colleague, claiming that White's attributes perfectly fit Graham Potter's style of football.
"To me, he's a Premier League player playing in the Championship," he said.
"He's 22-years-old and the next step is into Brighton's first team and the way that Graham Potter likes to play at Brighton.
"If you look at the centre-halves he's got there - Lewis Dunk is a great example. He's a ball-playing centre-half who can spray passes but he's brave and reads the game well.
"I see him as that kind of Lewis Dunk centre-half who fits in at Brighton. He needs Premier League experience now. I would be amazed if he stays at Leeds.
"This type of talent is very, very rare; he ticks all the boxes so why would you let him go anywhere else, even for a really silly £40-50 million? Man City are probably looking at him as well. Unless the money is astronomical, I feel he has to go into Brighton's first team and play in the Premier League now.
"That's the next step he needs to make. And If Ben White isn't in an England squad in the next three years, I'd be incredibly surprised."
