Leeds United did extremely well to keep hold of one of their exciting young talents, Tom Pearce, over the summer, and they may have a battle on their hands again to ensure his future.
Paul Heckingbottom gave young Pearce the opportunity to impress towards the end of last season, and he duly made an impact. His performances attracted interest from his former club Everton.
Leeds convinced him to sign a new deal till 2022, but once again it could be decision time for him if Everton keep knocking on his door during the January transfer window.
The Sun on Sunday (28/10; page 59) claimed that Everton and Bournemouth are back in the race for Pearce, and they could launch moves to lure him away from Elland Road.
