Leeds United fans will love Gretar Steinsson forever if he seals this signing

Leeds United fans will love Technical Director Gretar Steinsson if he can sign Sunderland winger Jack Clarke to replace Crysencio Summerville.

The Sunday Mirror reported on 18 August that the 23-year-old has Southampton and Lazio keen on securing his services as well.

With Crysencio Summerville leaving, Daniel Farke will want a game changer in the final third which makes it understandable why the Sunderland player is on the club's radar.

Jack Clarke would be a solid Crysencio Summerville replacement at Leeds United

Signing Clarke seems a no brainer given familiarity with the club, having come through their academy and that could facilitate a seamless integration into the first team, providing immediate impact.

His recent performances at Sunderland have showcased his development into a potent winger, capable of both scoring and creating chances, qualities Leeds desperately need following the sales of Summerville and Georginio Rutter.

With the club aiming for promotion back to the Premier League, Clarke's experience in high-pressure games and his track record of performing in the Championship make him an ideal candidate to bolster their attack.

Moreover, his age and potential for further growth align with Leeds' strategy for sustainable success.

However, they've got to act quickly as the longer the wait, there more his chances of moving elsewhere increase.

It remains to be seen if Steinsson can successfully convince the 23-year-old to move to Elland Road.
