Leeds United have lost star men Crysencio Summerville and Archie Gray. Other players such as Liam Cooper, Charlie Cresswell and Ian Poveda have also left Elland Road.

As such, new players continue to be linked with moves to the Yorkshire giants. Football Insider’s Wayne Veysey reports that the Whites have ‘expressed interest’ in signing 19-year-old Liverpool starlet Bobby Clark on a temporary basis.

More on Clark

Clark is the son of Newcastle United legend Lee Clark. He started out his journey in football at the Magpies before Liverpool snapped him up for their academy for a reported £1.5m fee in August 2021.

The youngster has moved up through the youth ranks at the Merseyside club, registering over 70 appearances at youth level for the Reds. These appearances have seen him score 17 times and provide 13 assists, an impressive return for Clark.

At Anfield, Jurgen Klopp highly regarded him and introduced him into the senior squad. In total, he has made 17 appearances for Liverpool, including six cameo appearances in the Premier League as a substitute.

Leeds United might want him, but Liverpool are in no rush to sell. Clark signed a new long-term deal until 2028 in late December last year. The Reds have also rejected a £6m bid for him from Red Bull Salzburg.
