Leeds United have made an improved bid for Ben White, but Brighton and Hove Albion have turned it down, according to Sky Sports.
It has been reported that Leeds – who will play in the Premier League next season after winning automatic promotion from the Championship – have offered Brighton £22 million to sign White on a permanent contract this summer.
However, the Seagulls have turned it down, according to the report, which has added that the Whites’ earlier offer was £18.5 million.
Disappointment for Leeds United
White was superb for Leeds during his loan spell at Elland Road this past season, as the 22-year-old played a key role in the Whites winning automatic promotion from the Championship.
