“He Left Under Bielsa BUT Now Worth £100m….” – Player who was Leeds Best Player Under Bielsa is NOW So Valuable that he is Being Conpared to Jack Grealish in Quality and Valuation….

Leeds Ace Jack Clarke Drawing Comparisons to £100m Hero Jack Grealish

Former Leeds United winger Jack Clarke is making waves at Ipswich Town after a £15m move from Sunderland. The 23-year-old’s impressive performances have drawn praise, with Sky Sports’ Alan Smith comparing him to Manchester City’s £100m star Jack Grealish.

Clarke’s journey since leaving Leeds in 2019 has been marked by trial and error. He struggled to break into Tottenham’s first team, featuring only four times before joining Sunderland. However, it was at the Stadium of Light where Clarke rediscovered his form, scoring 28 goals and providing 23 assists.

Now at Ipswich, Clarke is continuing to impress, with his slicked-back hair, low socks, and mazy dribbling ability evoking memories of Grealish. Smith’s comparison is high praise, considering Grealish’s exceptional skill and valuation.

Clarke’s assist for Liam Delap’s goal against Aston Villa showcased his Grealish-esque qualities, as he expertly controlled the ball in a tight space before delivering a precise pass. The pre-assist came from none other than Kalvin Phillips, highlighting the intriguing connections between Leeds United’s past and present.

With Clarke still just 23, there is significant room for growth and development. Ipswich fans will be excited to see how he performs throughout the season, and Leeds United supporters will be watching with interest, wondering what could have been if he had stayed at Elland Road.

Marcelo Bielsa’s Influence

Clarke’s time under Bielsa at Leeds was brief, but the Argentine’s impact on the player’s development is evident. Bielsa’s ability to improve players and unlock their potential is well-documented, with Kalvin Phillips being a prime example.

Phillips’ rise under Bielsa was remarkable, transforming from a promising young midfielder to one of the Premier League’s top holding midfielders. Clarke’s career trajectory, although different, shares similarities with Phillips’, highlighting Bielsa’s lasting influence on Leeds United’s players.

As Clarke continues to grow and mature, he will be eager to prove himself as a top-tier player. With Grealish as a benchmark, the young winger has a clear target to strive for.
