Leeds United have reportedly made a summer decision regarding Jack Clarke’s future.
The January transfer window may only just be out of the way, but it already appears that Leeds are bracing themselves for future interest in Jack Clarke, with TEAMtalk reporting that the Whites have made a decision on the winger’s future heading into the summer.
Clarke is one of the most exciting talents in the Championship. He had not made his first-team debut before the campaign began, but has forced his way into Marcelo Bielsa’s plans in some style.
The winger has already provided two goals and two assists for the Whites, despite only four of his 16 league appearances seeing the 18-year-old included in the starting lineup.
Unsurprisingly, the buzz surrounding Clarke is leading to Premier League interest, with the Daily Express reporting at the weekend that Liverpool are plotting a summer move after Jurgen Klopp received glowing scouting reports.
However, TEAMtalk is now reporting that Leeds have already made the decision that they will look to reject all offers that come in for Clarke during the next window as they try to keep their brightest prospect at Elland Road.
It is, of course, not out of the question that they could hold onto Clarke beyond the summer should they miss out on going up. But that may not be easy.
Should Bielsa’s side secure promotion this term however, keeping Clarke looks set to be a much easier task. He is clearly Premier League-bound, but his connections with the club would hint that he would ideally love to ply his trade at the highest level while wearing a Leeds kit.
