JUST IN:Lazio aims to sign Clarke, a Sunderland player

Published

on

Italian media state that Lazio, led by Maurizio Sarri, has requested offensive winger Jack Clarke from Sunderland.

Sportitalia and Sky Sport Italia have both indicated that the Biancocelesti are interested.

The 23-year-old’s contract with the Black Cats expires in June 2026, and Sky Sport Italia warns that they don’t appear to be very interested in considering offers.

Clarke spent time in the youth academies of Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur paid €11m to sign him in the summer of 2019.

There were loan spells at QPR and Stoke City before the transfer to Sunderland for a reported €1m plus a 25 per cent cut of the future transfer fee.

Clarke made 29 Championship appearances this season – the English version of Serie B – contributing 13 goals and three assists.

He is regarded as a useful replacement for Mattia Zaccagni and Felipe Anderson because of his ability to play on both the left and right wings.

Given that they will play Bayern Munich in the Round of 16 of the Champions League, Lazio has a somewhat depleted roster.
