Liverpool fans have agreed that a move for Brighton’s Ben White would be a good move after reports revealed that the club had a ‘genuine’ interest in him.
The 22-year-old is currently on loan at Leeds United and has been a regular figure in Marcelo Bielsa’s side, who currently lie third in the Sky Bet Championship table.

He has made 16 appearances in the Championship this season and two outings in the Carabao Cup as the Whites look to return to the Premier League for the first time in 17 years.
Supporters were in favour of the club going for White and made their feelings clear about bringing him to Merseyside on social media. One fan said that the move would “make sense”, due to him being able to play out from the back.
Here you will find some of the best comments from Liverpool fans:
This makes so much sense. Young, homegrown, great on the ball and at bringing it out from the back but also resolute defensively, think he can cover at fullback too. Perfect fit really, he’s looked great every time I’ve watched Leeds this season.

Lovren replacement?

Outstanding player. Have seen him playing for Leeds almost every week. His game-reading, positioning and calmness while making those last-ditch challenges – bliss!!!!!

He’s so good , surely a Lovren replacement if he leaves next summer.

He’s been absolutely quality in a very good Leeds defensive this season, excellent with his feet which suits us aswell. Would be a great signing dependent on price.
