Leeds United fans were lauding Ben White after the defender’s performance in the draw against West Bromwich Albion.
Yesterday was no different from any other one of his performances this campaign as he looked to be a complete monster in the centre of defence.

He made five clearances, two interceptions, blocked one shot, completed more passes and had the highest pass accuracy of any player on the pitch (via LUFC Data).
White’s superb form for the Whites this season has seen him linked with moves to Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United.
Marcelo Bielsa will be able to rest easy with regards to White’s future, though, after Brighton and Hove Albion (according to Football Insider) revealed that they are not looking to recall the player early from his loan spell.
Fans were more than complimentary about the 22-year-old as they took to Twitter to lavish him with praise for yesterday’s performance.
Here is a selection of tweets from the Elland Road faithful:
Another wonderful display to quieten any rumours he’s faltering or unsettled. Praying Brighton don’t shaft us!

Was amazing last night what happens when you put an actual left back in at left back 😂

This is a modern defender. Brilliant in every aspect of the game (maybe with the exception of set pieces!) https://t.co/h7KNfFqIQY
