In response to interest from Burnley and West Ham United, Sunderland “set Jack Clarke asking price.”👇

In light of interest from Burnley and West Ham United, it is reported that Sunderland is willing to sell Jack Clarke for £20 million during the summer transfer window.

This season, the 23-year-old has been a standout player for the Black Cats in the Championship, scoring 15 goals and dishing out four assists in 33 games in the second division.

Despite Clarke’s best efforts, Sunderland is losing ground in the race for a top-six finish, having lost to Swansea City over the weekend and now suffering three straight losses.

Ronald Pereira’s brace in the first half gave the Swans all three points, sending them back to South Wales. The North-East team is now eight points behind sixth-placed Hull City.

Clarke is optimistic that Sunderland will not stop him from moving out of the Stadium of Light before the 2024–2025 season, according to Football Insider.

5 term.

All parties agree that the Black Cats will not be able to keep the attacker unless they are promoted to the Premier League.

Michael Beale lost his position as manager of Sunderland after the team’s defeat at Tony Mowbray’s Birmingham City on February 17. Sunderland has only won one of their last five Championship games.

According to the report, Clarke’s summer employment is highly desirable for Burnley, Crystal Palace, and West Ham, the three Premier League teams.

The Eagles under Oliver Glasner have established a reputation for developing players from the EFL, notably Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze, two important first-team players.

Although Sunderland was eager to hold onto the former Tottenham Hotspur youngster, Vincent Kompany’s Clarets were rumored to have made a £15 million bid for Clarke last summer.

Lazio of Serie A reportedly made a £14 million bid for the Englishman’s services, suggesting that the fiercely contested battle for the winger’s signature continued into the January transfer window.

If the Black Cats under Mike Dodds are not able to win promotion from the Championship this season, it is thought that Clarke would want to move away.

Clarke and Sunderland will travel to face top-six contender Norwich City on Saturday afternoon in an attempt to stop their team from losing four games in a row in the second division.
