‘He’s the next Terry’ ‘Let’s sign him’ LOTS of CFC fans happy with reports Lampard is keen on signing 22 Year Old defender

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard is a big admirer of Brighton centre-back Ben White and is interested in bringing the 22-year-old to Stamford Bridge, according to reports in England.

Liverpool are also said to be keeping tabs on the defender while Leeds have had a number of bids turned down by the Seagulls for the player.

White excelled out on loan at the Yorkshire club in the Championship but his performances have come to the attention of many other Premier League teams, including the Blues.

Some reports have suggested that White could cost as much as £40m and that would be a steep figure considering he does not have much experience of playing at the highest level.

Even so, it appears Lampard is a fan and it is certainly a transfer story that Chelsea supporters should keep an eye on.

Most fans on Twitter would back a move for the centre-half:

@tog1989: I’m all for that. I think he’s got a bit of Terry about him
@JmartinCFC97: I can get behind this one
@Thursday_borne: Let’s do this
@NoContext_Ali: He hasn’t played one game in the premier League
@Werner_Burner: Good player, but not what we need, we don’t need another CB with potential.
