Journalist makes Leeds United transfer claim involving Sunderland star Jack Clarke

Players like Clarke could end up on Leeds’ transfer radar if they are

promoted at the end of this term.

e�Sport�that�they�will�be�looking�at�players�like�Sunderland’s�Jack�Clarke�during�the�summer�transfer�window.

The recruitment team of the Whites must get ready for two possibilities:

continuing in the Championship or returning to the top division.

Now that they are in second place and only six points behind league leaders

Leicester City—who have lost their last two league games—Daniel Farke’s team

has a great chance to return to the top division.

Still, with Southampton and the Whites tied for first place and Ipswich Town

tied on points, the race for automatic promotion is very much alive.

However,�Leeds�has�won�every�league�game�in�2024,�which�may�make�them�fav

Daniel�Farke�will�most�likely�have�more�money�to�work�with�if�his�team�is�prom

Dean Jones’ Leeds United transfer claim involving Jack Clarke

Since Clarke, a former Leeds player and star of the Black Cats, is currently

competing in the Championship, his price may be limited. Players like him could be more affordable than that.

He’s also the kind of player Leeds will most likely consider.

“It will depend on what happens with the likes of Summerville and Gnonto

once we get to the end of the season,” transfer insider Jones said to Give Me

Sport. I can another situation in which we are discussing the two players’ futures.

“Leeds will be pleading with them to recommit to the team and see this

through. It’s been a challenging season, and their goal will be fulfilled if they can exit the league.

“If�they�do�decide�to�return�to�the�Premier�League,�Clarke�is�the�kind�of�player�they�will�be�after.
