Everything you need to know about Sunderland superstar Jack Clarke, from his age to his potential on EA FC 24.
Clarke has been on fire for the Black Cats since joining the club. While the club may have gone through its ups and downs, the attacker has certainly been one of the bright sparks for Sunderland.
The forward has been fantastic and has already found the back of the net 15 times in the 2023/24 campaign.
This has attracted mass interest from Premier League clubs. The Sunderland man even put out a statement after the January transfer window due to the number of bids the Stadium of Light club rejected.
However, for the time being, Clarke remains Sunderland’s main man as they aim to return back into the Premier League. As a result, here is everything you need to know about the forward.

Allan Clarke was a highly important player for many sides many in the 1960s and 1970s. Starting off at Walsall, Allan Clarke is widely known for his time at Leeds United where he scored over 150 goals and won multiple honours.
After Jack Clarke came through the Leeds academy and shared the same last name, many affiliated the two together. However, there is no direct relation between the two and it is just a coincidence that they both have ‘Clarke’ as their last name.

After Clarke joined Spurs in 2019, he spent the majority of his Tottenham career out on loan. This resulted in the forward joining Sunderland on a loan deal for the second half of the 2021/22 season.
