Clarke Linked With Blades
Tuesday, 23rd Dec 2025 09:21

Sheffield United are reported to be keen on Blues wideman Jack Clarke ahead of the January transfer window.

According to the Sheffield Star, the Blades are on the lookout for a replacement for Louie Barry, coincidentally a former Blues loanee, whose spell at Bramall Lane from Aston Villa is set to be ended early in January due to a knee injury.

And it’s claimed Clarke is among the names on what’s said to be an extensive list of potential recruits.

However, Town are highly unlikely to allow Clarke, who signed from Sunderland for £15 million in August 2024, to move on.

Despite having started only nine times in the Championship this season, in addition to 13 games from the bench, Clarke is an important member of the squad.

The 25-year-old has scored seven times, five after coming on as a substitute, more than anyone else in the division. Goals against both Sheffield sides are in that total.

Another Blues winger, Chieo Ogbene is on loan for the season with Sheffield United, but hasn’t featured since suffering a hamstring injury while on international duty with the Republic of Ireland last month.

Right-back Harry Clarke was on loan at Bramall Lane in the second half of last season.

I actually think we need a few of his style of player for our squad, as no matter how obsessed teams are with keep ball and passing sideways and backwards, you need players willing to take men on and going forward.
I do agree he has not lived to his potential, but also K Mck is very specific with his player types for various positions.
Maybe a reason he is not first choice whereas another manager would have him straight in.
IF.. they somehow have the money we maybe interested, but it is a position we have plenty of cover on and we do need money for strikers so who knows

BerksBlue15 added 13:25 - Dec 23 £40m and you can have him. Anything less, don't bother even picking up the phone to Ashton.

ArnieM added 13:32 - Dec 23 My question is why has his potency dropped so much since he joined us from Sunderland? He's not the only in form player to sign whose form has plummeted, wearing the Town shirt.

AbujaBlue added 14:02 - Dec 23 Arnie, I don't think the word 'plummeting' can be attributed to a player who's scored 7 goals this season and counting. Alongside Philogene he's the only player right now who you can be confident will knock them past the goalkeeper. And he comes on as a sub mostly!
