Leeds United told to sign Bobby Clark from Liverpool in ‘ideal’ transfer
Dan Bardell has urged Leeds United to sign Bobby Clark from Liverpool as a replacement for Archie Gray.
The Athletic reported on 3 August that the Whites are amongst a host of Championship sides looking to sign the 19-year-old on loan.
Daniel Farke’s side are in need of midfield reinforcements after losing Gray to Tottenham and Glen Kamara to Stade Rennais.
Sky Sports and talkSPORT journalist Bardell believes the Reds’ starlet could be perfect for Leeds after a positive breakout Premier League season.
Speaking exclusively to MOT Leeds News, Bardell said: “Bobby Clark would be the ideal replacement for Archie Gray.
“He looked tidy in the brief cameos that he had for Liverpool last season. He’s been involved in preseason for them even with the quality they possess.
“Liverpool have a thriving academy with a lot of young players coming through and he is one of those.
“I think Clark to Leeds on loan is a move which will benefit both parties.“

Joe Rothwell has already come through the doors at Elland Road but there is no surprise that additional midfield options are wanted.
Farke will have been disappointed to lose two of his star midfielders but has to move on and find fresh alternatives ahead of the new season.
Clark could prove to be a useful option as a young player to come in and provide a point of difference for the Whites in the middle of the park.
The Englishman was limited to just 14 starts in all competitions under Jurgen Klopp last season [FotMob] and featured in the Carabao Cup final win.
Although the ex-Newcastle academy starlet doesn’t have the versatility of Gray, his youthful nature in the midfield could be very useful as the Championship season goes on.
In other Leeds news, the Whites may look to repeat their Crysencio Summerville trick with a new transfer this summer.
