Leeds United could re-sign Jack Clarke this month in a sensational move after the forward rejected a new contract at Sunderland, sources have told Football Insider.

Leeds are in the market for a proven forward before the transfer window closes after Crysencio Summerville’s exit and Georginio Rutter’s soon-to-be-completed Brighton move.

The west Yorkshire giants have registered an interest in the 23-year-old, but Southampton are also keen on signing him.

West Ham had been interested in Clarke back in January but have not followed up on that since then.

Clarke graduated from Leeds United’s academy and played for the club until 2019 when he signed for Tottenham Hotspur.

The forward is under contract at the Stadium Of Light until 2026.

Daniel Farke wants to add a proven forward to his squad in this window after losing two of his most creative sources.

Clarke is an experienced winger who could be put straight into the starting lineup and does have the knowledge of playing at Elland Road.

Clarke made 28 appearances for Leeds during his spell with the club, scoring two goals and providing two assists.

He has been instrumental in Sunderland’s recent successes, scoring 28 goals and providing 23 assists in his 114 games for the Black Cats.

The winger has also started his personal Championship campaign well, with one goal and assist in the opening two games of the season.

Clarke isn’t the only winger that Leeds are monitoring though as Football Insider revealed the club placed Stoke City’s Million Manhoef on their transfer list.

The Whites have the finances to make a deal happen due to the number of sales they have made this summer.
