Yes, he had a scarf and a branded football.

Also, has anyone seen how the kid compares to Jarrod Bowen? Similar mould, but we’ve obviously decided to push harder on this one.

Bowen looked alright to me but lacking that little extra in a few departments. Very slow for example. Clarke is silky and capable of beating a man with both skill and a burst of pace. From the limited football I've seen of both of them I believe Clarke has a far higher ceiling and could become a regular in our side in a few years. Bowen is currently way ahead of him however but also 4 years older.

I may be pressing your knowledge here but for the £14m touted - good value?

One thing that hasn’t been discussed is that Clarke collapsed and had to be rushed into hospital in February during a match against Middlesbrough. He was given oxygen at pitchside after saying he wasn’t feeling well and the ref stopped play for 10 minutes. He was discharged the same night and was meant to be in good spirits.

As well as Leeds fans saying this affected the end of his season and his performances, it was never disclosed what the issue was, as far as I can tell. Let’s hope it’s nothing that could crop up again. No reason to think it is, but something to consider.

Who knows? If he turns out the way I think he could be a £50-60m player in a couple of years but he could also fade away into nothingness. He's quite raw so hard to say.

I'm pretty sure our medical team will be aware of this.

Transfermarkt says he's 5'9" but in all the videos he looks like one of the tallest players on the pitch. Is that wrong or is everyone short in the Championship? Seems to have that Bale-like build which is very interesting in a pacey winger.
If you google him now it says he's 5' 11'

It was discussed on the first page of this thread...

Guy I used to work with is a big Leeds fan and has just messaged me saying that we've signed him. Reckons we've got ourselves a good little player although he'll need a season to settle in.
I'm pleased with this as I like an ex Leeds player in our team, for some reason, I think we have a good record with their players. Keane, Lennon, Rose, Robbo, even Woodgate to some extent.
