Brighton manager Graham Potter believes Ben White is 'absolutely' ready for Premier League football.

The Seagulls have no plans to sell White to Leeds, who the 21-year-old centre-back helped win the Championship title this season.

Asked if White is ready for top-flight action, Potter replied: "Absolutely, 100 per cent.

"He's our player, he's got a long contract with us. I have known Ben for a while, I have been aware of him, wanted to try and sign him when we were at Swansea.

"I know about his qualities. He's a fantastic player. He's done brilliantly at Leeds and helped them get promotion - that's fantastic for them, fantastic for him - but he's our player and we're looking forward to working with him.

"He complements us really well. He's got attributes that are really, really useful and he's going to be a top player."
