Dirty Leeds, Brentford, and Derby all said to be interested in Haydon Roberts, and RB Leipzig and Mainz have both scouted him.
According to the Telegraph, I couldn’t read anymore it’s behind a paywall.

A loan with no buy clause to Leeds sounds good. Lol.

Sounds familiar - especially if he signs a new contract before going out on loan.
Bound to be interest. He's quality.
Can't see us selling though. I think he only signed a new deal in the summer? Get him a loan move to a decent-sized Championship club.
Agent White doing a good job so far today. He will fit in well when back

Having watched the first half of the Leeds v Stoke game I'm wondering what all the fuss is about Leeds.
They look very average and will need a lot of upgrading if they do get promoted and want to stay there.
I've seen all the highlight clips of Ben White but so far today I'm not witnessing anything amazing.

I've been saying this all along. Patrick Bamford is their main striker currently. He has struggled massively in the Premier League before. Their main creative player, Hernandez, is about 35 too so probably won't play every game.
Their main trump card is Bielsa. It will be interesting to see how he does in his first Premier League season, assuming they come up.
he isn't amazing, he has done a decent championship job against championship level strikers, (and there are some really awful front lines down there this season) no more no less. the likes of salah, ageuro, vardy will run rings around him.

Might be worth telling a few of your own fans........[emoji23][emoji23]
How many games did we win 5-0 in our promotion season?

He's very very good for a player in his first season of championship football. He will be in our squad next season I have no doubt unless someone comes up with ridiculous money from a top 6 side.
We paid damn near 20 million for Webster from the Championship for a player a few years older than White. Who has played a similar amount of football.
I'm beginning to think you are just trying to put us off and get him for cheap.... but anyone who watched him play for the u23s on numerous occasions like I did know he is quality.
His game for Newport where he almost nullified Kane completely is an example of him being able to step up. This was in 2018. He is surely a much better player now.
We won SEVEN home games by 3 goals or more:
3-0 v Forest
3-0 v Rotherham
5-0 v Norwich
3-0 v QPR
4-1 v Burton
3-0 v Reading
3-0 v Derby
Leeds have won 5 by that margin (with 4 games to play)
Hey Starry, you do know it’s not us the fans who set the fee for him, yeah? There’s no point having little digs at him - wayward heading etc - just to make him sound average and so hope the fee magically drops.
Just checking though, as it seems a lot of Leeds fans think they’ll flourish in the Prem next season, are you expecting it to be as easy as that?
nah, i have commented multiple times on this thread about white.
i'd be hacked off if leeds thought spending $30m+ on an unproven 22 year old who has had one ok season against a load of shit teams was good business.
he has done ok for us, nothing more. thank him for a job nicely done and wave him back off down the m1.

You've got hell of a summer then - hope there is some deep pockets because if you're best player is an ok / unproven 22 year old what are the rest?
Sounds like Fulham / Villa all over again
and as for the prem, i don't think it is as just flourishing, but to be honest i'm not even sure i want us to sit around that table and those teams with all their corporate shite. i am fortunate to be old enough to have seen leeds at the top of the pile and while the football in the last 6 or so years has been far from pretty it has been more fun than matteo's goal in the san siro and all those times.
i'm ok where we are!
