Sunderland winger Jack Clarke is open to leaving the Stadium of Light and returning to Leeds United, according to Graeme Bailey. Clarke, 23, has been linked with several teams ahead of the transfer deadline, and Leeds United are believed to be interested in signing him.
Sunderland has set a £25million price tag on Clarke, and it’s unclear if Leeds will match that fee. However, with Leeds looking to bolster their attacking options after Crysencio Summerville’s departure, Clarke could be a good fit.
Clarke has starred in the Championship with Sunderland over the last two seasons, and a move to Leeds could provide him with a platform to return to the Premier League. If Leeds achieves automatic promotion, Clarke will get to play in the top flight immediately.
Leeds manager Daniel Farke has money to spend, and this deal could go down to the wire on deadline day. Clarke’s potential return to Leeds would be a positive move for the club, and fans will be hoping for a successful transfer.
Clarke would be happy to exit Sunderland and make a last-gasp return to Leeds United, according to Bailey. The Whites are still in the running for Clarke’s signature, and the deal could be completed before the transfer deadline.
Supporters will be hoping that Clarke can make the jump up into the Premier League this summer, but if not, a move back to Leeds United could be the next best thing. Clarke will get to play in the Premier League if Leeds achieves automatic promotion, and even if not, a move to Elland Road can offer a route back into the top flight.
Leeds has been busy in the transfer market, and Clarke’s potential signing would be a significant boost to the squad. With 11 days left before the transfer deadline, fans will be eagerly waiting to see if the deal can be completed.
