Leeds United’s Tom Pearce is out of contract this summer.
Leeds United have endured another bizarre week, but fans have been given some good news with the new contract for Pablo Hernandez.
The post-season trip to Myanmar has caused huge controversy, but owner Andrea Radrizzani has at least managed to provide some positive news by tying down Hernandez to a new two-year deal.
The Spaniard has committed his future to Leeds after weeks of speculation, but Radrizzani can’t rest there as another Whites player needs his contract situation resolving too.
Defender Tom Pearce has started the last three games for Leeds, making the step up from the club’s youth setup to thrive under Paul Heckingbottom.
The 20-year-old left back has stepped up after January signing Laurens De Bock’s early struggles, and he even scored his first senior goal in the 2-1 win over Barnsley last weekend.
Pearce, formerly of Everton, has impressed Leeds fans with his early performances, and with his contract expiring this summer, he must be kept in order to try and nail down what has been a troublesome left back spot for Leeds.
Radrizzani has eased some pressure on him by striking the Hernandez deal, but he must now secure Pearce’s future – or risk losing the player who could finally solve Leeds’ left back woes.
