Liverpool FC continues to lead the widely contested race to land the signing of the in-demand Brighton first-team regular Ben White in the upcoming winter transfer window.
White has developed into a much more experienced option at the heart of the defence for Brighton since the turn of the new season after his breakthrough loan spell at Leeds United across the 2019-20 campaign.
An injury crisis at the back for the Merseysiders has led to potential season-ending layoffs for both Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez, which might tempt the boss Jurgen Klopp to add fresh blood to his squad in January.
Despite White earlier rebuffing rumours of him wanting to make the switch to Anfield, recent reports from The Sun suggests that Klopp’s side are very much in the frontrunning to sign the English defender amid Chelsea also being understood to be wanting to make a move for him.
Joel Matip remains the sole fully fit centre-back option in the Liverpool FC squad, and Fabinho has been drafted as a makeshift central defender by the Reds this season, leading to speculation that Ben White’s inclusion to the Anfield ranks would come as a massive boost to Klopp and Co.
