Jack Clarke shouldn’t be playing in the Championship, Sunderland has been informed. Adrian Clarke claimed that the Sunderland winger is “unplayable” on the What the EFL?! Podcast.
This season, Jack Clarke has been unstoppable, already surpassing his nine goals from the previous campaign in 33 fewer games. In addition, the forward recorded his first assist of the season on Saturday against Norwich City thanks to a lovely pass into Dan Neil.
For the majority of the year, Clarke has been strongly linked to a move to the Premier League; in the past, Burnley has had bids of about £10 million rejected. The competition to sign him, though, is intensifying now that Brentford and Crystal Palace have joined the fray. Adrian Clarke has stated that Clarke shouldn’t be playing in the Championship, though it’s unclear if he would be eager to leave Wearside.
“Jack Clarke is unplayable,” he declared. He has the appearance of a Premier League player when he is in this form. Someone is participating in the incorrect division.
“I love the run and pass for the goal by Dan Neil, which he scored himself, of course. He had 14 dribbles and six shots in this game.”
He’s a gorgeous ball carrier, and listening to Tony Mowbray discuss him and “unlock the mystery”—basically stating that he’s a little different, one-of-a-kind, so he needs to be handled carefully—makes sense.
Can Jack Clarke stay at Sunderland?
One of the best players in the Championship right now is unquestionably Jack Clarke, and if Sunderland is to win promotion this season, he will be their main man. But, it’s always possible that it doesn’t, in which case it would be shocking if the 22-year-old wasn’t lost by the Black Cats. Clarke is unquestionably a Premier League player, and despite the difficulty of the situation, a place like Brighton or Crystal Palace would be ideal for him to continue developing.
Mowbray’s team just cannot lose him in January, but if a sizable offer is made in the summer of next year, they might have to concede defeat. especially if Sunderland is scheduled to play in the second division for another season.
