Man Utd rival Chelsea, Spurs interest for Brighton defender Ben White

Premier League clubs are circling Brighton for Ben White.

Sky Sports says Manchester United are among a host of Premier League clubs monitoring the progress of highly-rated White.

The 23-year-old has started all 10 Premier League games for the Seagulls this season, forming a solid defensive partnership in a back-three with Lewis Dunk and Adam Webster on the south coast.

United, who have a host of defenders on their books, are interested in White though as are rivals Chelsea and Tottenham, despite both clubs also having a number of centre backs in their first-team squads.

The report details that White is the Premier League's fourth-best performing centre back, behind Kurt Zouma and Thiago Silva of Chelsea and Arsenal's Gabriel, according to digital scouting service Wyscout.
