Leeds United fans in the Transfer Tavern will be hoping the club can fend off a number of Premier League clubs this summer as they look to keep hold of one of their star players.
The Whites have had a disappointing season in the Championship this year, having finished in the bottom half of the table and will be expecting the club to make improvements this summer.
The Elland Road outfit have already been making changes, with Paul Heckingbottom being dismissed from his role as manager and the club are keen to announce a new manager soon.
However, there are reports that Crystal Palace and Bournemouth still remain keen on one of their players, and the locals will be hoping they can convince him to commit his future to the Yorkshire side.
Bournemouth and Crystal Palace both been keen on Tom Pearce and still are but Leeds no longer exposed to a compensation fee. Could play in the final of the Toulon Tournament on Saturday. #lufc

According to Phil Hay, the chief football writer for the Yorkshire Evening Post, Tom Pearce still remains on the radar of the aforementioned Premier League sides and Leeds are now no longer exposed to a compensation fee.
Landlord’s Verdict
Pearce is a bright talent at Leeds and the locals will be desperate to see him stay at the club, having come through their youth ranks. The defender is expected to challenge for a first-team role next season after the Whites have had a number of players appear to struggle in the position.
Leeds fans – thoughts?
