Everton have already raided Leeds United for one left-back.
Leeds United fans are warning Tom Pearce against a move to Everton this summer.
The Sun on Sunday (May 13th, page 63) that Everton want to re-sign the Leeds left-back as Leighton Baines’ long-term successor – four years after they let him go for free.
Ahead of him at the time was Luke Garbutt, a player the Toffees coaxed from Elland Road in 2009.
And with only 12 Everton appearances to show in that time, several Leeds supporters are envisaging similar problems for Pearce, who broke into their starting XI in the final weeks of the campaign.
Here’s what they’re saying on Twitter…
@Some_Might_Saiz: I’ll be f****** raging if Tom Pearce f**** of back to Everton like. We offered him a second chance after they f***** him off, develop him, turn him into a really good prospect, and it’s looking likely he’s going back to warm their bench again. Cheers kidda
Pearce is out of contract at Leeds this summer, and could be signed without the Yorkshire club’s blessing.
However, Leeds will be due compensation for the Ormskirk native – providing they at least offer him a new deal on equal or greater terms to his existing one.
Would Pearce become another Garbutt at Everton?
