Report: Brighton turn down Leeds United bid for Ben White

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.
