Reports emerging in the Sun today and referenced by prominent twitter account @City_Watch have reported that Pep Guardiola is interested in bringing 18-year-old Jack Clarke to the Etihad.

They believe that City are just one amongst a host of Premier League clubs monitoring the progress of the attacker. Clarke has impressed in a select number of appearances this season, not least in the weekend’s fixture against Sheffield United where his pressing of Dean Henderson forced an error that allowed him to assist Pablo Hernandez’s winner.

It is unlikely there will be much action over this in the January transfer window, with managers preferring to deal with more short-term signings in this window. The pressure will be on for Andrea Radrizzani however, if he is to be a change from the old guard, Leeds fans will demand he keeps hold of our best young talent.
