Tottenham Hotspur are among the clubs said keen on the Leeds United winger.
Leeds United are understood to have no immediate plans to offer Jack Clarke a new contract, despite mounting Premier League interest, according to the Daily Mirror. The newspaper claims Tottenham Hotspur have moved to the front of the queue to sign the Leeds winger, and also lists Southampton and Crystal Palace as suitors.
Clarke burst onto the scene earlier this season – around a year after signing his first professional deal at Elland Road.
That is thought to tie the teenager to Leeds for another two-and-a-half campaigns, and leaves the Whites in a strong negotiating position should offers arrive from the likes of Tottenham, Southampton or Crystal Palace before next week’s transfer deadline.
The Sun reported earlier this week that both Southampton and Palace have already failed with bids for Clarke, although the Daily Mirror mentions only an ‘inquiry’ from the latter club.
But in failing to reward Clarke’s recent impact – two goals and as many assists in 13 Championship appearances so far – Leeds may risk unsettling the Thorp Arch academy product.
According to the Sun, the second-tier leaders could bank £12 million from selling the boyhood Whites fan this month.
But there is little to suggest at this stage that a transfer is being considered by either party, with the Daily Mirror reporting Leeds are adamant Clarke is not for sale.
Recent injuries to Harry Kane and Dele Alli have left Tottenham short of bodies in attack.
Could the likes of Tottenham, Southampton and Crystal Palace get their hands on Clarke this month?
