The 23-year-old has impressed the Seagulls this season after returning from a loan at Leeds, in which he helped them win promotion to the Premier League last season.
White has started all 10 Premier League games so far, predominantly in a back-three with Lewis Dunk and Adam Webster, even in a 1-1 draw with Liverpool last time out.
