Even though the 2024 summer transfer window is still several months away, West Ham United is already getting ready since they need to gather as much information as possible to make wise selections when the time comes.
Jack Clarke is one of the guys they are reportedly considering. This season, the former Tottenham Hotspur player has been tearing up the Championship for Sunderland. In addition to playing nearly every minute of League action, he has scored 15 goals from beyond the area and provided four assists.
For Clarke, the sky is the limit at just 23 years old. West Ham had a £15 million bid for him rejected in January, but Sunderland will not let him leave without a fight because they understand how essential he is to the team. Football Insider reports that they will need to pay a minimum of £20 million if they wish to sign him in the summer.
There are other teams interested in signing Sunderland’s Clarke besides West Ham. Additionally, he has been connected to moves to Brentford, Crystal Palace, Southampton, Sheffield United, Burnley, and Lazio. Given their standing in the standings, it is likely that the Black Cats will not get promoted to the Premier League this season, in which case Clarke would likely leave the Stadium of Light in search of better opportunities.
West Ham has the greatest financial resources of all of the clubs named. Lazio might give the Hammers some fierce competition, but it’s not certain if he’s willing to take his skills overseas. They made a bid for the player in January, just like West Ham, but it was rejected.
Jason turned his head toward the plane’s windows upon hearing a loud bang. What was happening? Their plane had taken off already. When someone from the cabin staff burst into the cockpit, he furiously glanced at his copilot. It appeared that a massive flock of birds was pursuing and assaulting the plan.
