Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has finally confirmed his team did have a big bid turned down for Ben White.

The newly promoted club were adamant about signing White permanently from Brighton, after having him on loan in the Championship last season.

But their bids, including one as high as £30million, were knocked back.

Bielsa confirmed the amount they bid, and the fact it was rejected by Brighton, during a pre-match press conference, according to Leeds Live.

He was speaking ahead of his team's Premier League clash with Wolves on Friday.
