As Sheffield Wednesday gears up for their upcoming clash with Leeds United at Hillsborough, the spotlight is on former attacker Jack Clarke. Leeds United, looking to bolster their squad, have shown interest in re-signing Clarke, who has been a consistent thorn in the Owls’ side.
The match, set for Friday night, will be broadcast live on Sky Sports and marks the fourth consecutive Wednesday game to be featured this season. Clarke, who recently shone for Sunderland in their victory over Sheffield Wednesday, is at the center of transfer rumors. While reports from West Yorkshire suggest Leeds might pursue Clarke, there are strong indications that a move could be complicated.
Sunderland, where Clarke has been a key player, reportedly has no intention of letting him go unless a Premier League club meets their asking price of over £20 million. Despite the buzz, it seems unlikely that Clarke will be donning Leeds’ colors before Friday’s encounter. Leeds are currently busy reshaping their squad following recent departures, and Clarke’s potential move could hinge on whether a top-tier team meets Sunderland’s price.
