Wigan Athletic have signed Leeds United left-back Tom Pearce for an undisclosed fee, plus Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Bright Enobakhare on loan.

Wolves youth product Enobakhare, 21, has also agreed a new contract with the Premier League club, but moves to the DW Stadium on a season-long loan deal.

Former Everton youngster Pearce, 21, has signed a three-year deal at Wigan.

England Under-21 international Pearce has played 10 games for Leeds since moving to Elland Road as a 16-year-old.

He spent the second half of last season on loan at Scunthorpe United, scoring once in nine games as the Iron were relegated from League One.

Pearce signed a four-year deal at Elland Road in the summer of 2018, but featured in just two Championship games under Marcelo Bielsa.

Enobakhare scored six goals in 18 games for Coventry City while on loan with the League One side last term.
