Jack Clarke’s form has kept Leeds United top of the Championship while Premier League clubs such as Bournemouth are reportedly interested.
Jack Clarke has only made 13 appearances for Leeds United but he’s come a long way since making his first-team debut in November.
The 18-year-old winger has been arguably Leeds’ most impressive player in the last two months and he offered another tantalising glimpse of his potential in last week’s 2-0 win against Derby County, assisting the first goal for Kemar Roofe and playing a major role in the second.
As a result, Leeds suddenly find themselves in a fight to keep Clarke at Elland Road. He has just 14 months left on his contract and The Mail believes that the Championship table-toppers turned down an approach from Crystal Palace on Thursday.
Tottenham Hotspur have been once again mentioned as a potential destination for the York-born winger but The Mail also throws a new name into the frame – Bournemouth.
Eddie Howe’s Cherries are renowned for providing a platform for young players with Josh King, Callum Wilson, Ryan Fraser, Nathan Ake and David Brooks making their name at the Vitality Stadium.
Any suitors would have to pay around £12 million to sign Clarke this month but, with promotion a genuine possibility, Leeds should be fighting tooth and nail to keep him in West Yorkshire.
