Leeds United to announce Portsmouth's Pearce as first Warnock signing

Sky Sports suggests that Leeds United will tomorrow unveil Jason Pearce as their first signing in Neil Warnock's tenure.

The 24-year old defender is set to join the Whites from Portsmouth and Warnock is excited about making the announcement.

"I'm hoping to make my first signing [on Friday]. I'm looking forward to notching one hopefully and then moving on to my next," said Warnock.

"I'm into talks with quite a number at the minute and it's been a busy 48 hours.

"He's the type of player I look for when I go into a club. At Championship level there's a certain type of lad I'm looking at and he fits everything that I'm looking for, hunger, ability, there's a lot of plusses I look for."
