Leeds United to loan Brighton & Hove Albion defender Ben White?

Leeds United have reportedly moved to the brink of signing Brighton & Hove Albion defender Ben White on a loan deal.

The Yorkshire giants are currently in the process of rebuilding after missing out on promotion through the Championship playoffs.

Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Helder Costa is expected to move to Elland Road in the coming days, and the Portugal international could be followed by White.

According to Sky Sports News, the 21-year-old has already undergone a medical with the second-tier outfit ahead of what is likely to be a season-long switch.

White - who is yet to make a Premier League outing for Brighton - made 15 appearances for League One outfit Peterborough United during the most recent campaign.

The Englishman has also spent time in League Two with Newport County, featuring on 42 occasions during 2017-18.
