The latest update suggests that Liverpool want £12m for Clark, so it remains to be seen whether a deal can be agreed with the side who hope to reach the Champions League group stages.

However, it makes sense that Championship clubs are keeping tabs on this situation, as he is someone who could make a mark in the second tier.

Clark, who is son of former Birmingham boss Lee, is a technically gifted midfielder, and he is capable of playing in different roles, so he would be very useful over the course of a demanding Championship season.

Bobby Clark needs to be playing regularly

If a move to Salzburg doesn’t materialise, it would be no surprise if Liverpool did sanction a loan for the youngster.

Even with his undoubted potential, Clark is realistically not going to play under Arne Slot this season, as there’s so much quality ahead of him in the pecking order.

Therefore, a loan would make a lot of sense, and Liverpool will assess the clubs that are in for Clark as they try to find the ideal team that will aid his development.

For the player, the chance to join any of the four teams mentioned should appeal, as they will all hope to be pushing for the play-offs as a minimum, with Leeds arguably expecting a top two finish.
