According to The Mirror, Leeds United have said that hot prospect Jack Clarke is not for sale, as the list of Premier League suitors grows.
Leeds United youngster Jack Clarke has been putting on some seriously impressive displays in recent weeks, proving himself as one of England’s hottest prospects at the moment.
Of course, with Clarke producing quality performances in the Championship, Premier League sides are now keeping their eye on the 18-year-old, with moves being lined up. The list of top tier clubs interested in Clarke is only getting longer, as well.
Ralph Hussenhatl’s Southampton are the latest side to be linked with a move for the Leeds starlet. Manchester City and Chelsea have also been linked with approaches for Clarke.
With speculation hotting up regarding Clarke’s immediate future, Leeds United fans have been given some encouraging news by the Mirror.
They are reporting that Leeds are adamant not to let Clarke leave this January.
United are determined to keep a hold of Clarke so they can help his growth themselves as they look to mount a Championship title push this season. The Whites are determined not to let Clarke be the next name on the list of players to come through the academy and be sold for big money, seeing his future at Elland Road.
Manager Marcelo Bielsa has not hesitated to sing the praises of the youngster throughout the first half of the season, giving him several first-team opportunities in big games. Clarke’s impact off the bench in Leeds’ 3-2 win over Aston Villa sparked their amazing comeback at Villa Park, while a man of the match performance caught the eye against Derby County last weekend.
