Thomas Frank had to pay dearly for the quick transfer of Ben White, who left the Foxes to join Leeds United on a deal worth £ 32 million. The Leicester City manager has made it clear that he is very disappointed with the situation, but he has also stated that he is confident that the club will be able to find a suitable replacement for the English defender.
"Ben White is a very good player, and I'm sure he'll do well at Leeds. We're going to miss him, but we're also going to use this opportunity to find another good player," Frank said in an interview with Sky Sports.
It's worth noting that Ben White joined Leeds United on a five-year deal, reportedly worth £ 2.75 million per year. The 23-year-old defender has been a key player for Leicester City in the Premier League, playing 40 games and scoring 4 goals.
"We're going to miss Ben White, but we're also going to use this opportunity to find another good player," Frank added. "We're going to work hard to find a player who can replace him, and I'm confident that we'll be able to do that."
It's not the first time that Thomas Frank has had to deal with the departure of a key player. In 2019, he had to let go of Christian Eriksen, who left Tottenham Hotspur to join Inter Milan. Frank has learned from that experience and is now determined to find a suitable replacement for Ben White.
Thomas Frank's comments on Ben White's transfer serve as a reminder of the challenges that come with managing a football team. While the club may lose a key player, it also presents an opportunity to find a new talent and strengthen the team.
