LATEST UPDATE: Sunderland striker Jack Clarke sends clear hint about his future amid West Ham bid

In light of reports of a West Ham bid, a Sunderland reporter believes that Jack Clarke’s actions have revealed a significant clue about his future.
Jack Clarke, the star player for Sunderland, is quickly becoming West Ham’s top target for the January transfer window.
In fact, Keith Downie believes he might be the Hammers’ most reachable player.

The north-east reporter for Sky Sports said last week that Sunderland will grudgingly sell Clarke for any price higher than their £20 million asking price.
West Ham is reportedly ready to make their first offer for Clarke, according to reports that surfaced over night.

Reaching an agreement with Sunderland, a team vying for promotion, will be one thing. The Hammers then need to convince Clarke that staying in London will be more beneficial than his unsuccessful transfer to West Ham’s rival team, Spurs.

It frequently takes a little push on the part of the player to grease the transfer wheels in these circumstances, where a club is hesitant to part with a star midway through the season.

The Sunderland Echo has concluded that Jack Clarke’s goal celebration for Sunderland versus Ipswich over the weekend indicates he is not looking to depart for West Ham.

“Clarke celebrated by running over to the touchline to celebrate with his teammates, leaping into a hug with substitute Hemir Semedo. It wasn’t the type of performance you’d expect from a player pushing for a move away.”

West Ham and other Premier League teams are rumored to be interested in Jack Clarke, so supporters of Sunderland will also be hoping they can hang onto their main players this month, according to Nicholson.
