Leeds United have confirmed that they have sealed an agreement to sign defender Tom Pearce on a new deal.

There was uncertainty about the youngster's future at Elland Road but he has committed his future to Leeds.

Just how good is this news for the Whites?

Chris Gallagher

This is great news for Leeds.

The youngster made a real impression when he came into the team and the fact several Premier League clubs wanted him shows the quality he has.

It's vital for Leeds to keep their better young players moving forward so this is big for them.

Alfie Burns

This is big news for Leeds as Pearce really impressed towards the end of last season.

Should Marcelo Bielsa arrive and Leeds switch to a three-man defence, Pearce could be lethal as a wing-back and play a major role.

The youngster looked comfortable the more he played last season and Leeds’ supporters will hope he can continue that next year.

This afternoon’s news will be well received, with Leeds’ supporters hoping this is the start of a busy summer.

Ben Barkworth

Pearce's new deal is excellent news for Leeds because they will get a good price for him at the very least.

They shouldn't expect to keep him, though, because it was made very clear from the beginning that it wouldn't put off Premier League clubs.
