Leeds nailed it with Leicester City deal that left a lasting impression: View

Clarke was a wanted man in the summer, having lit up the Championship with Sunderland. He was linked with a return to Leeds and Leicester had been credited with interest earlier in the year.

Ipswich won the race for his signature, paying an initial £15m to secure his services following their promotion to the Premier League.

However, the winger has not hit the ground running at Portman Road. He has been afforded just three starts in the Premier League and is yet to score for the Tractor Boys.

York-born Clarke was nurtured with Leeds’ academy and was considered one of the club’s most exciting prospects. He signed for Tottenham Hotspur in 2019 but first-team opportunities proved limited in North London.

A number of loan moves failed to breathe life into his career until he settled at Sunderland. He left the Black Cats having scored 28 goals in 114 appearances.
