Ben White has finally ended speculation on his immediate future by penning a new contract with Brighton.
The centre-back was one of the most wanted properties in the transfer window.
He was subject of huge interest from Leeds United, who had him on loan last term.
Liverpool and Chelsea were also linked to the player.
White has now signed a contract with Brighton until summer 2024.
Manager Graham Potter told Brighton's official website: "I have been looking forward to working with Ben for a long time. He was a player I was well aware of, even before I came to the club.
"He has gradually stepped up the EFL divisions, with Newport County, Peterborough United and Leeds United.
"He had a brilliant season helping Leeds to the title last season, and now he has the opportunity to show his qualities in the Premier League.
"We are delighted to have agreed a new long-term contract with him, and I am sure our supporters will be looking forward to watching him play for the club."
