Leeds United have been in impressive form this season and stand at the top of the Championship, opening a four-point advantage over their title rivals following Friday night’s 2-0 victory over Derby County.
The Peacocks have excelled under the guidance of Marcelo Bielsa and the Argentine boss has managed to get the best out of many members of his squad, including helping 18-year-old winger Jack Clarke make an instant impression at Elland Road.
Clarke boasts two goals and two assists in 12 appearances for Leeds this season, with his form attracting vast interest as Premier League strugglers Southampton are the latest to be attributed with an interest in his services.
Leeds are naturally determined to retain the services and fans have been discussing the player’s rise on social media, with some making the assessment that he is already better than Aston Villa favourite Jack Grealish – who was widely linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur in the summer.
We have gathered some of their comments below.

I hope Jack Clarke stays at the club and becomes as big a legend as Allan Sniffer Clarke. The club needs loyalty from players to progress & get back into the #PremierLeague. #MOT

Grealish decent but nowhere near the level that villa fans rate him at

No saltiness here we have the better player 👍 I’m just stating the obvious if people think grealish is worth 40mill or more then Clarke is a fair distance ahead

If Grealish is worth £40mil then Clarke is worth the entire economy of a small country
