3. Ben White — Brighton

Ben White is flying under the radar exceptionally well during his loan stint with Leeds United. The Championship side sits atop the first division, poised for Premier League promotion. Which means Spurs would have their work cut out for them to convince Leeds to relinquish a top asset. Leeds will want to make his loan deal from Brighton permanent, while Brighton will be keen, if they avoid the drop, to make White a part of next season’s Premier League setup.

But Brighton would not be able to ignore a big money transfer request from a side of Tottenham’s stature. White is an incredibly astute 22-year-old central defender who has all the trimmings to ascend the ranks, one day potentially marshalling the Three Lions’ rearguard. A lot has to go right in the coming years, but a move to Tottenham could facilitate his ascension to prominence. However If Spurs land Upamecano, they won’t see the need for signing a second centre back, so this transfer is completely predicated on whether the Leipzig man joins.
