Bright future ahead

Clarke is a very talented and promising young forward, and given that he is only 17 years of age, he can only improve and get better in the coming years.

While it is hard to see the teenager establish himself in the Leeds starting lineup next season, his performances in pre-season and hard work in training with get in the good of Leeds head coach Bielsa, who does give chances to talented young players.
