Brighton offer Leeds hope of permanent deal for Liverpool, Arsenal target Brighton are bracing themselves for the exit of defender Ben White this summer, opening the door for Leeds, Liverpool and Arsenal, a report claims. White has seriously impressed during his season-long loan at Leeds, becoming a key part of their side as they push for promotion out of the Championship. While they may be being made to wait a little longer to secure their long-awaited return to the top flight, thoughts are already turning to the amount of business Leeds would do if they got promoted – with high-spending Aston Villa and the more reserved Norwich proving this season that there is no perfect formula. The Athletic journalist Phil Hay has cast doubt on the chances of Leeds undertaking a major overhaul upon promotion, revealing in a Q&A that Marcelo Bielsa would prefer to maintain the bulk of his current options. Signing White on a permanent basis would be a significant piece of business for Leeds, if they can indeed afford him, and they have been given a boost in their hopes by the revelation that Brighton are already on the lookout for replacements. According to Football Insider, Brighton have earmarked Wolves youngster Dion Sanderson (who is currently on loan at Cardiff City) as a potential replacement, to keep their long-term options at the back looking promising. That suggests they are willing to let White leave, with Liverpool and Arsenal set to test Brighton’s resolve – with the two clubs likely having more spending power than Leeds. White is said to be valued at £20m, a fee that may be beyond the Championship side’s reach – but would not rule Liverpool or Arsenal out.
