NO WAY: Leeds Academy Graduate snub Leeds United offer revealing he is comfortable at recent Club despite Daniel Farke push for REUNION.
Leeds United are actively seeking a proven forward before the transfer window closes, following the departure of Crysencio Summerville and the anticipated move of Georginio Rutter to Brighton.
The West Yorkshire club has shown interest in a 23-year-old forward, though they face competition from Southampton.
West Ham had expressed interest in Jack Clarke back in January but have not pursued him further since then.
Clarke, a product of Leeds United’s academy, played for the club until 2019 when he transferred to Tottenham Hotspur. He is currently under contract at Sunderland until 2026.
Leeds view Jack Clarke as a potential solution to their current challenges. Manager Daniel Farke is keen to bring in an experienced forward to strengthen his squad after losing two key creative players.
Clarke, an experienced winger, could immediately slot into Leeds’ starting lineup and has the advantage of familiarity with Elland Road. During his time at Leeds, Clarke made 28 appearances, scoring two goals and providing two assists.
Since joining Sunderland, Clarke has been a key player, contributing 28 goals and 23 assists in 114 appearances. He has also started the current Championship season strongly, with one goal and one assist in the first two games.
Leeds are also monitoring other wingers, including Stoke City’s Million Manhoef, as revealed by Football Insider. The club is financially positioned to make a deal happen, thanks to the funds raised from their summer sales.
