Newcastle join Liverpool in race for Leeds defender Ben White

Leeds United defender Ben White is the talk of the Championship at the moment after some hugely impressive performances.

The centre-back is on a season-long loan from Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but is attracting interest from Liverpool and Manchester United.

Now, according to a report on the Chronicle, Newcastle United are also interested in the 22-year-old.

The defender is valued at around £20m by Brighton and has a contract with the club until 2022. 

The Magpies are keen to strengthen their squad in January and Steve Bruce is understood to be an admirer of White.

READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

White is one of the best young defenders in the country at the moment and Liverpool should definitely fight for his signature.

He’s still young which means he has plenty of time to learn and progress, which he can do alongside experienced players like Virgil Van Dijk and Dejan Lovren.

With interest in him growing from more teams, if Liverpool want to get him then they need to act quickly.
