Despite being a standout player in the Championship for Sunderland, Jack Clarke has concerns about a potential move to a London club due to a previous struggle at Tottenham. Despite interest from Crystal Palace, West Ham, and Brentford, the 23-year-old is hesitant about returning to the capital after a disappointing stint with Tottenham.
Clarke’s outstanding performance for Sunderland has attracted attention, with multiple clubs keen on securing his services, but it seems he is reluctant to make the move amid fears of repeating his tough experience with Tottenham. With Sunderland aiming for promotion, keeping Clarke will be crucial to their success this season.
As his contract runs until 2026, Sunderland are not under pressure to sell Clarke and will likely hold onto their star player during this transfer window. Given the club’s ambitions for promotion, a move for Clarke at this time would be a setback and would call into question the club’s ambition.
