Premier League club Burnley have seen multiple transfer bids rejected for Sunderland winger Jack Clarke.
Premier League club Burnley have completed the signing of former Southampton winger Nathan Redmond – following multiple bids for Sunderland’s Jack Clarke.
The Clarets’ latest offer for Clarke was reported to be in the region of £9million, which was significantly below the Black Cats’ valuation.
After joining Sunderland on a permanent deal from Tottenham last summer, the 22-year-old scored 11 goals and provided 14 assists in all competitions during the 2022/23 campaign.
Vincent Kompany’s Burnley side were promoted to the top-flight last term and have been looking to strengthen their wide options.
Tella helped Burnley win promotion to the Premier League during a loan spell at Turf Moor last season, scoring 17 Championship goals.
The 24-year-old has two years left on his contract at Southampton, who are said to value the winger at £15million.
Burnley’s pursuit of the aforementioned players suggests their interest in Clarke has cooled.
The 22-year-old is known to be happy at Sunderland and hasn’t been pushing for a move despite this summer’s interest.
The Athletic have also reported The Clarents were trying to sign Millwall’s Zian Flemming, yet that deal is also ‘unlikely’ due to different valuations.
