Lazio is after Clarke, a Sunderland talent.

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.

After spending time in Leeds United’s junior academies, Clarke was signed by Tottenham Hotspur for €11 million in the summer of 2019.

Prior to moving to Sunderland for an alleged €1 million plus a 25% share of the eventual transfer fee, he had loan stints at QPR and Stoke City.

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

Able to play on the left or the right wing, he is seen as a valuable alternative to Mattia Zaccagni and Felipe Anderson.

Lazio have rather a thin squad, considering they will face Bayern Munich in the Champions League Round of 16.

Lazio decides to get Ryan Kent after dropping Clarke of Sunderland.

Lazio reportedly signed a deal with Fenerbahce for Ryan Kent and released Jack Clarke, a winger for Sunderland.

English winger Kent, a former player for Liverpool and Rangers, has verbally agreed to an initial loan deal with Fenerbahce, according to Gianluca Di Marzio, the transfer analyst for Sky Sport Italia.

Although the transfer fee has not yet been disclosed, it is said that the two teams are currently getting ready to sign the necessary paperwork.

Kent would be the first player signed by Lazio during the winter transfer window, which closes at 19:00 GMT today.

The 27-year-old winger has made 15 appearances this season across all competitions, tallying one goal and two assists.

He might replace Felipe Anderson, who is anticipated to leave Lazio at the end of the season and sign a free transfer to Juventus, according to the report.

Jack Clarke, a winger for Sunderland, was let go by the Biancocelesti after their January €16 million deal was turned down, as a result of Kent’s transfer to the Stadio Olimpico.
