# Leeds United: Fans vote for Ben White as player of the year so far

**Leeds United fans were giving out their vote for one man they think is the player of the year so far.**

One Twitter account dedicated to the Whites questioned fans on the matter and a large chunk of the supporters seemed adamant that Ben White was the player.

A supporter was so strong in his belief that White deserved the accolade, he claimed the centre-half has eclipsed former Elland Road ace, Pontus Jansson.

> It’s Ben White. We left a huge Jansson filled hole in the summer and he’s come in and eclipsed him.

The Brighton and Hove Albion player joined the club in the summer on a season-long loan deal and has shone ever since his arrival.

He averages the most clearances, interceptions and the joint-fourth most tackles per game of any player in Marcelo Bielsa’s side [(via WhoScored)](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/19/Show/England-Leeds).

His form has been so good, he has been linked with a move to Premier League giants [Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/12040/11902599/ben-white-liverpool-chelsea-and-tottenham-monitoring-defender) and [Manchester United](https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-man-united-set-sights-on-leeds-duo/).

Fans were sure that the 22-year-old deserved to be noticed as the club’s player of the season at this stage of the campaign as they took to Twitter to react.

Here is a selection of tweets from the Elland Road faithful:
