Crystal Palace transfer stance on Sunderland star reveale

Clarke remains on the Premier League team’s radar, ahead of a potential summer approach.

 Crystal Palace remain interested in Jack Clarke.

He could be a potential replacement for Michael Olise.

The Eagles are also interested in Hull City’s Jaden Philogene.

Crystal Palace remain interested in Sunderland winger Jack Clarke, according to a report from HITC.

The 23-year-old has been a brilliant asset for the Black Cats since his permanent arrival from Tottenham Hotspur during the summer of 2022.

Last term, he helped to compensate for Ross Stewart’s injury issues and Ellis Simms’ recall, playing a huge part in the Black Cats’ top-six finish, along with Amad Diallo.

This term, he has been even more lethal, and has proven why he should be given a sufficient opportunity to play in the Premier League.

Unfortunately, he is currently out of action because of an ankle ligament injury, which has prevented him from making an impact under interim boss Mike Dodds.

When the extent of his injury was revealed, many Black Cats fans thought their season was over and that has proved to be the case, with Dodds failing to get results without having the Wearside club’s star man at his disposal.

He is set to be back before the end of the season – and the ex-Spurs man may be looking to spend the latter stages of the campaign putting himself in the shop window ahead of the summer.

With the player having two years left on his contract, the Black Cats are in a fairly strong negotiating position, but a summer departure looks inevitable with the play-offs looking unlikely for his team.

Crystal Palace transfer latest on Jack Clarke

Palace have lined up a couple of EFL targets in the event that Michael Olise leaves in the summer.

With the Eagles braced for Olise’s potential departure, HITC have reported that Clarke and Hull City’s Jaden Philogene are both on the Eagles’ radar.

Oliver Glasner’s side have richly benefitted from recruiting EFL players before, with Olise and Eberechi Eze arriving from Reading and Queens Park Rangers.

If Olise departs, the Eagles could make an approach for Clarke or Philogene, leaving Dodds’ side in need of preparing for his potential departure.
