The amount that West Ham would pay Sunderland for Jack Clarke during the January transfer window has been revealed by Sky Sports writer Keith Downie.
The fact that West Ham is frantically looking to add players during the January transfer window may not be good for Sunderland.
To put it mildly, David Moyes’ need for a new forward has grown within the past week. Also, there have been more connections to Sunderland’s standout player, Jack Clarke, during the same time.
“New Grealish” is a target for Hammers
Before a rash of injuries to important players, the Hammers were searching for an attacker.
Tim Steidten and Moyes are under pressure to find someone because Michael Antonio will be sidelined for an additional six weeks, Mohammed Kudus will be out at the AFCON until the following month, and Jarrod Bowen and Lucas Paqueta are also hurt.
A need that West Ham must meet is acquiring players with homegrown talent, which Sunderland star Clarke satisfies.
According to TEAMtalk, board-level discussions are taking place regarding Clarke, who has been compared to Man City star Jack Grealish.
Downie gives a price. Clarke will sign with West Ham for
According to reports, David Sullivan and company are trying to figure out how to get the 23-year-old to London Stadium during the January transfer window.
As per an extremely knowledgeable Sky Sports reporter in the northeast, there’s just one way to make it happen.
The amount that West Ham will pay Sunderland to sign “new Grealish” Clarke has been revealed by Keith Downie.
Downie revealed his interest in West Ham on social media. He also predicts a £20 million sale for Sunderland.
‘Offer they can’t refuse’
“West Ham are interested in Sunderland winger Jack Clarke, according to colleague Dharmesh Sheth,” Downie reports.
“I’d expect Sunderland hold on to their prize asset this window though, unless they receive an offer they can’t refuse — of at least £20m.”
The Sunderland winger has bagged 12 goals and two assists in the Championship this season as detailed on Transfermarkt.
West Ham fans were interested spectators when Clarke and Sunderland took on Newcastle in the FA Cup. But many were left underwhelmed by his performance against a Premier League side and questioned whether he is up to playing for the Hammers.
Others believe he would thrive around better players in a side chasing a top six finish.
Clarke allegedly rejected West Ham in the past when he joined Tottenham.
