Jack Clarke really impressed for Leeds United on Tuesday night.
Jack Clarke impressed for Leeds United in Tuesday’s 1-0 win over Reading, but quite a few fans of the Elland Road club were saying the same thing on Twitter afterwards.
The 18-year-old came on at half time to replace Ezgjan Alioski but some supporters noted that the young winger looked a bit tired toward the end.
Here’s what some Leeds fans claimed:
But his agent, former Whites left-back Ian Harte, has hit back on Twitter and reminded supporters that his client had played for United’s Under-23 side the previous day.
Tiredness aside, Clarke is looking like a serious talent for Leeds.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side visit Sheffield United in a massive Championship clash at Bramall Lane on Saturday, and the teenage star might well start.
Ezgjan Alioski has been struggling in a major way for a matter of months now and very few Leeds fans would object to seeing Clarke replace him on the wing this weekend.
As the old adage goes, if you’re good enough then you’re old enough and although Clarke only has four Championship appearances under his belt, he certainly looks like the real deal already.
