THREAD: The remarkable stats behind the immensely talented defender Ben White in his debut season in the Championship. The 22-year-old has excelled during his loan spell at Leeds. #LUFC #BHAFC

Ben White has played 3,525 minutes of football across all competitions, more than any other Leeds player this season (98.7% of the total mins). He is one of only eight outfield players to have featured in every minute of the Championship this season and is the youngest to do so.

Ben White has completed 1,759 successful passes in 2019/20, more than any other Championship player aged 24 or under. Fulham's Tim Ream is the only Championship defender to have completed more passes (2,300) than White (1,759) this season.

Ben White has completed 104 successful long passes (35 yards or more) in 2019/20, Blackburn's Tosin Adarabioyo is the only outfield Championship player under the age of 23 to have completed more (137).

Ben White has made a total of 86 interceptions this season, 14 more than any other Championship player. An extraordinary statistic considering this is his debut Championship season. Only 3 Championship players managed more throughout the entirety of last season after 46 games.

Marcelo Bielsa believes Ben White would be equally as effective as a defensive midfielder with a few more appearances in the role: "I think if he plays 10 or 15 matches in this position he would have impact in the same way he does as a centre-back."
