With England taking an ultimately comfortable 4-0 victory over Kosovo on Sunday evening in their final European Championship qualifier, although most Leeds United fans will have their eyes on the upcoming return to Championship action against Luton Town after Novembers lull, with a less than convincing defensive display on the day, plenty of fans on social media were convinced that it can only be a matter of time before on loan Brighton and Hove Albion centre-half Ben White gets his international shot.
The 22-year-old has stepped up to the second tier seamlessly and having quickly won over the Elland Road faithful, he’s also received plenty of praise from the pundits and others in the game for his performances for manager Marcelo Bielsa so far.
With some already talking about how easily his style of defending could slot into the Premier League, others feel he’s capable of far more and that it shouldn’t be long before Gareth Southgate takes a real interest in him.
Ben White a better CB than Mings, Macguire or Keane too.

Ben White is so superior to Tyrone Mings but will not get a look in while in the second tier. His calmness and quality on the ball and reading of the game is miles in front. Perfect for what England need but we’ll just have to wait until he graces the Premiership.

Well played England….. defensive still not there. Give Ben white a crack at the whip.

Ming's and TAA horrible tonight. Rice absolutely none existent. Zero tempo looks like we can't be bothered. Qualification already done fair enough. But Ben White and kalvin Phillips walk into this side. #koseng #LUFC #Euro2020Qualifiers

#England still a Kalvin Phillips away from looking wholly convincing.*
*Yes, Ben White wouldn’t go amiss either.
