Jack Clarke is part of Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa’s first-team squad.
Hernandez, who can also operate as a winger, has been impressed with Clarke, who is only 18 years of age and is a very versatile footballer.
The teenager is able to play as a forward, winger or striker, and has played 149 minutes in the Championship so far this season, according to WhoScored.
“He (Clarke) has a lot of quality and I think he has a good future with this club,” Hernandez told The Yorkshire Evening Post.
“He can be a big player in the future for Leeds United and he gives us different things on the pitch, on the wing and on both wings.”
Promising talent
Clarke has only just started to play first-team football for Leeds, and the teenager will need time to establish himself in head coach Marcelo Bielsa’s starting lineup.
While one should not expect the teenager to do great things for Leeds right now, working with the 33-year-old Hernandez is only going to make him better.
Training with the Spaniard day in and day out is going to make Clarke a better footballer and will help him learn a lot of things about his game.
Leeds are going strong in the Championship at the moment and are among the favourites to get promoted to the Premier League.
The West Yorkshire outfit are currently second in the standings with 39 points from 20 matches, just a point behind leaders Norwich City.
