Leeds United winger Jack Clarke is being tracked by Premier League giants Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, according to reports.
Clarke, 18, has enjoyed a breakout season at Elland Road, making 13 appearances for Marcelo Bielsa’s promotion chasers and chipping in with two goals and two assists.
The youngster’s time is being managed by Bielsa, and he only made his first league start for the Championship leaders last week, assisting Kemar Roofe’s opening goal in the 2-0 defeat of Derby.
Despite his game time being limited to substitute appearances, Clarke has earned admiring glances from English football’s highest division, with Leeds currently stalling on offering him a new contract.
There are still two-and-a-half years to run on the teenager’s existing deal, and, according to the Daily Mail, Tottenham and Manchester City are keeping tabs on him.
Reports have suggested Leeds will look to tie Clarke down on a long-term contract, but talks are not underway and the Premier League duo have been alerted.
Bielsa had high praise for Clarke when discussing his impact upon Leeds’ first-team last month.
“Every time he plays he adapts better to the level of demands of the team of Leeds,” the Argentine said. “He doesn’t look like a young player and every time he plays he has the capacity to create a difference with the opponent.
