Leeds United will reportedly listen to offers this summer transfer window for Tom Pearce.

According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, the Whites are going to listen to bids for the 21-year-old defender.

The left-back spent the second half of the season out on loan with Scunthorpe United in League One and it looks like he may not be returning to Elland Road if an acceptable offer is made.

Pearce has come through the academy ranks at Leeds and played 10 times for the first-team, with half of them coming under manager Marcelo Belsa.

He’s an attack-minded full-back that likes to go forward and he departed on a temporary basis to experience more first-team football on loan.

The left-sided flyer impressed for Scunthorpe, but it seems like he will not feature in the Leeds plans moving forward.

TBR’s View:

Pearce is an exciting talent to come through the Leeds academy and there have been plenty of examples of that in recent years.

The defender hasn’t look out of place when featuring for the Whites and his loan move shouldn’t have damaged his chances.

But unfortunately there is an overload of options at left-back for Leeds and that leaves him far down the pecking order.

Barry Douglas, Ezgjan Alioski, Stuart Dallas, Leif Davis are all potential candidates to fill that role in the first team.
