According to reports, Southampton intends to make a significant summer offer to t winger Jack Clarke, who is being pursued by other Premier League teams.
One of the most dynamic players in the Championship, the 23-year-old winger is only expected to get better with experience.
Clarke has made 33 league appearances for Sunderland thus far, tallying an astounding 15 goals and four assists.
Between 2019 and 2022, the attacker played for Tottenham for three years, however he made an appearance for the London team. According to sources, he is now prepared for another chance to play Premier League football.
If they do not get promoted this term, that would imply that Clarke would be leaving Sunderland. The Black Cats are currently four points outside of the play-off spots in 10th position in the Championship table.
are, however, in third position, two points out of an automatic promotion slot, and they still have a game against Leeds United in second place.
Southampton prepare £15m offer for Sunderland star.
Prior to a possible transfer at the conclusion of the season, West Ham, Crystal Palace, and Italian powerhouse Lazio have all expressed interest in signing Clarke, as TEAMtalk has previously reported.
The Sun claims Southampton is “ready” to submit a £15 million offer for Clarke in the summer.
As previously said, the Saints, who have been playing terrific football under Russell Martin, have high expectations of making it back to the Premier League.
Southampton’s 25-game unbeaten streak came to an end on Tuesday at the Ashton Gate Stadium when they were defeated 3-1 by Bristol City.
Clarke might be persuaded to join Southampton if they receive a promotion.
According to reports, when West Ham made a bid in January, Sunderland put a £20 million price tag on Clarke.
Given the amount of interest in signing the winger, Southampton will need to meet their demand in order to have any chance of acquiring him in the summer.
They are likely to seek a price similar to this.In light of this, Clarke may receive offers from multiple teams in the summer. It’s still unclear if he would rather join a Serie A or Premier League team.
