Jack Clarke

Leeds United’s Jack Clarke is on the radar of Liverpool, according to Plymouth Live. The 18-year-old has made six appearances for Leeds this season in the Championship and has one assist to his name.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side are doing very well in the Championship and sit second in the table as they look to gain promotion.

The forward has attracted the attention of several Premier League clubs as the report adds that Chelsea, Everton and Manchester City are keeping tabs on the Englishman.

The report claims that Clarke signed his first professional contract when he turned 17 and is valid until 2021, hence the player will not come on the cheap.

Liverpool invested heavily in the summer window with four first-team players coming, and it will be interesting to keep an eye on our activity in January.

Jurgen Klopp Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp has worked wonders with some of the youngsters at Liverpool, and Clarke’s development could be better under our youth team coaches.

It would be unlikely for Clarke to slot straight into our first-team as the Reds have a lot of competition in the midfield and attack.

The Reds lead the Premier League after 16 games, and with the right investment in the side, we could make it a real title race against Manchester City.
