da bet sport： Leeds are on course to return to the Premier League and though their excellence has been masterminded by Marcelo Bielsa, there have also been a number of stand-out efforts from the squad, too.
da bet7k： Pablo Hernandez continues to produce moments of quality while Patrick Bamford is really starting to show why he cost the club £10m, scoring nine goals this term. However, it is the defence which has provided the foundation for success thus far.
The Whites’ backline has conceded just 13 goals in 22 league games, and key to that has been one player – Ben White.
He is still young but he plays with the assurance and composure of a man who has been at Leeds for several years, and supporters certainly wish he could end up being a long-term servant at Elland Road.

The defender has a mightily impressive 2.5 interceptions to his name per game while possessing fabulous ball-playing abilities. In 2019/20, he’s registered a pass success rate north of 84%.
The 22-year-old certainly has the quality, with some displays leaving fans believing that the sky is the limit for him, suggesting international call-ups and Champions League appearances could await the Brighton & Hove Albion loanee.
That is where the issue lies – White is only in Yorkshire for the short-term, and that means the club should start doing everything it can to guarantee his future and a stay at Elland Road.
Phil Hay stated in early November that Leeds would have the funds to do a deal if they go up but there are a number of sticking points.
It may be difficult with Leeds still in the Championship and interest in him growing from the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool, but that shouldn’t deter the club from making an effort.
A true test for any Leeds fan: Can you match these iconic images with the right results?
He has made a real difference to the side akin to that of Tyrone Mings at Aston Villa, who subsequently signed for the club for an astronomical fee of £26.5m after he guided them to promotion.
That shows what kind of money is available in the Premier League, but also the appeal that promotion would bring to Leeds.
Brighton have several accomplished centre-backs in the squad, namely Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy, as do the other clubs mentioned. Therefore, White may be keen to play for Leeds permanently, and for a manager like Bielsa.
The club, therefore, should attempt to open negotiations with his parent club with a view to making his presence in Yorkshire a permanent one, as a deal could be agreed to see him make a switch upon Leeds’ promotion, which is looking likely at this stage.
Elsewhere, Adam Forshaw has responded to Leeds’ fan criticism against him and it is a message supporters will want to see.
