Borussia Dortmund 'join Manchester United in the race to sign Ben White as Brighton slap £35m price tag on defender' following outstanding debut Premier League campaign

Borussia Dortmund have reportedly joined Manchester United in the race for Brighton star Ben White as this summer's battle for the £35m ace heats up.

The 23-year-old has taken to Premier League life with aplomb, regularly starring for Graham Potter's side after performing strongly for Leeds in their promotion-winning campaign in 2019-20.

Marcelo Bielsa was keen on making White's stay in Yorkshire permanent, but the Seagulls turned down three offers for the Englishman, with the final offer understood to stand at £25m.
