Leeds United fans comment on Denton to Peterborough “bargaining chip”

According to Phil Hay writing for the Yorkshire Evening Post (YEP), Leeds United are “set to sanction” a loan deal sending highly rated left-back Tyler Denton to Peterborough.

With the Whites seemingly set at that side of the pitch, what with the emergence of Tom Pearce and the versatility of Gaetano Berardi, it seems the logical thing to let the youngster out on loan to pick up experience.

Hay mentions that Denton chose to pursue a temporary move away from Elland Road, rather than spend a season in the Development Squad. With him being unlikely to feature heavily in Bielsa’s plans, it comes to League One’s Peterborough to continue to blood him in first team football.

Denton was thought to have been seen in a positive light by Massimo Cellino’s new Italian project Brescia, but it now appears that he is to link up with former Whites manager Steve Evans at Peterborough.

Within milliseconds of hearing that a move to Peterborough is on the cards for young Tyler Denton, it didn’t take Leeds fan long to put two and two together and come up with five as the answer. In short, there were many fans quick to wonder if this move was some kind of sweetener.

The speed at which some Leeds United fans have responded to news that Tyler Denton is heading out on loan to Peterborough is understandable. The Whites are around two weeks away from their first pre-season friendly and are yet to make any headway with signings of any great calibre.

Saying that Leeds United fans are disappointed in the lack of transfer action is more than an understatement. They are happy to see the chaff separated from the wheat, but it is a crop that is ever-diminishing in yield as the transfer drought continues to cut deep.
