Burnley make third offer of £9m for Sunderland’s Jack Clarke with Brentford and Crystal Palace also interested in the talented winger after he helped the Black Cats reach the Championship play-offs
Burnley have made a third bid for Sunderland winger Jack Clarke of around £9million.
The 22-year-old also has interest from Brentford and Crystal Palace, who have asked about Everton’s Demarai Gray and Villarreal’s Arnaut Danjuma as they prepare for Wilfried Zaha’s departure.
Clarke, 22, scored 11 goals and provided 14 assists last season as Sunderland reached the Championship play-offs, where they lost to Luton in the semi-finals.

Clarke, 22, scored 11 goals and provided 14 assists last season as Sunderland reached the Championship play-offs, where they lost to Luton in the semi-finals.
That move was made permanent on a four-year contract last summer and Clarke has continued to flourish under Tony Mowbray.
He is capable of playing on either wing and also as a centre forward if required.
Palace’s interest comes as Zaha’s contract expired. He could still re-sign for the Selhurst Park club, who tabled a £200,000-a-week contract offer.
Palace are desperate for Zaha, who gets married later this summer, to stay and may give him every opportunity to commit his future to the club beyond the deadline.
The contract offer to Zaha is the most lucrative deal they have ever offered a player.
Zaha is keen to join a club that can immediately offer him an opportunity to play in the competition or one that can realistically challenge to qualify.
To that end, Lazio – who will play in next season’s Champions League – have a concrete interest in Zaha.
However, it is understood that the Italian side would not match the money on offer at Crystal Palace.
