Ben White was disappointed at not being able to move to Leeds United.
The centre-back was wanted by the newly promoted club, who had him on loan last term.
But Brighton, who own White, stood firm on the valuation of the player.
It meant he could not get his move, and has since signed a new contract with Brighton.
The player's agent, Alex Levack, had this to say to Sky Sports: "Of course. He enjoyed his time at Leeds incredibly.
"They looked after him so well, the fans were fantastic to him. But when a football club don't want to sell it's very difficult.
"There was a tinge of disappointment but that passed quickly, Ben's head is fully at Brighton and he wants to get cracking in the Premier League now."
