13 August 2020 11:00

Ben White is a wanted man. The future of the Brighton & Hove Albion defender has been one of the most dominant stories of the transfer window so far and it shows no sign of leaving the limelight to anyone else.

According to reports, Leeds United have already had three bids turned down for their 2019/20 Player of the Season by Brighton, including a latest of offer of £30m, and White himself has rejected two new contract offers. Leeds fans have set up petitions and a dedicated #FreeBenWhite hashtag trended at number one in the United Kingdom in a bid to convince the Seagulls to sell.

It isn't just Leeds who want to make White a permanent member of their squad, though. Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool are known to be long-term admirers of White while Chelsea are also monitoring developments as Frank Lampard looks to boost his defence after a season in which the Blues leaked goals at an alarming rate.

White is not short of suitors and he is certain to be playing Premier League football next season. The question is where exactly will that be? Here are five of the leading candidates.
