Leeds United fans have been naming defender Ben White as the best young player in the Championship after they were asked the question by Sky Sports.

After the British broadcasters asked fans of the second division who the best youngster was, Leeds fans were unanimous in their voting for the on-loan Brighton and Hove Albion man.
White has enjoyed a super season with the Yorkshire club, resulting in links with moves to Premier League giants Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool.
Manager Marcelo Bielsa has been more than complimentary of the player, claiming he is maintaining a good level of performance over a ‘long period’ (via Leeds Live).
Leeds will be pleased after it emerged that his parent club will not be recalling White early from his loan spell (via Football Insider).
Fans were adamant that White is the best young player in the Championship as they took to Twitter to react.
Here is a selection of tweets from the Elland Road faithful:
Ben White – It’s not even close…
