Leeds United youngster Jack Clarke has been linked with a move to Manchester City recently.

Leeds United should demand Phil Foden or Brahim Diaz on loan, if Manchester City do want Jack Clarke.

The Sun suggest that City want Clarke in January, with Pep Guardiola a fan of the Leeds youngster.

Leeds will almost certainly not want to lose the 18-year-old, who is enjoying a fine breakthrough season.

Clarke has started to threaten the starting line-up at Leeds, with a series of excellent performances.

But City have so much financial muscle now that if they really do want the youngster then the Whites could find it difficult to keep hold of their prized prospect.

And if Leeds are to have to lose Clarke then they should demand Foden or Diaz in return.

Foden and Diaz have both struggled for appearances at City this season, with Guardiola favouring his more experienced options.

But either of the pair would be among the most talented playmakers in the Championship, if they were to join Leeds.

And the arrival of Foden or Diaz at Elland Road would at least help to soften the blow of potentially losing Clarke.
