# Leeds United: Fans drool over Ben White footage from Hudderfield Town win

**Responding to a montage on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/desmondo007/status/1237486466348879872?s=21) of defender Ben White’s performance in midfield against Huddersfield Town last weekend, many Whites supporters have been in awe of the youngster’s showing in a different position to his natural – with one fan even stating he could be a ‘[future England captain’.](https://twitter.com/desmondo007/status/1237486466348879872?s=21)**

White, despite registering the second-lowest [SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/huddersfield-town-leeds-united/Jsjb) rating out of anyone in the starting eleven during their 2-0 victory, scoring just [6.7](https://www.sofascore.com/huddersfield-town-leeds-united/Jsjb), did manage to take [41](https://www.sofascore.com/huddersfield-town-leeds-united/Jsjb) touches and complete [73%](https://www.sofascore.com/huddersfield-town-leeds-united/Jsjb) of his passes in total – whilst also winning [all](https://www.sofascore.com/huddersfield-town-leeds-united/Jsjb) of his attempted aerial duels.

The Englishman, who is currently on loan from Premier League outfit Brighton, has started [37](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/322036/Show/Ben-White) Championship games for Marcelo Bielsa’s side since joining in the summer – highlighting just how highly the manager rates his contributions to Leeds’ current league standings. Indeed, judging by this footage as well as the stats, it’s debatable whether the club could opt to make White’s deal permanent.
