The future of Jack Clarke remains an uncertain one, with Southampton being the latest club to submit an official bid for the in-form winger according to Football Insider. 

The Leeds youngster has been hugely impressive in his breakthrough season with the Whites, and seems to be thriving under the guidance of Marcelo Bielsa.

Clarke has been unlucky not to have made more starts for Leeds in this year's campaign, but has certainly made an impact in Leeds' promotion bid.

His impressive performances haven't gone unnoticed, as Manchester City and Tottenham are both said to be interested in a deal to bring Clarke to their respective clubs according to the Daily Mail.

It remains to be seen as to whether Leeds will accept the bid for Clarke, but this latest bid from the Saints could potentially see further movement from other Premier League clubs as they try to strike a deal for the youngster.

But what impacts could this potential deal have on Leeds?

The ambition of the club comes into question 

There's no doubting that Leeds are one of the biggest teams in England and if they choose to sell Clarke to a club that are battling to stay in the Premier League, then serious questions will be raised.

Clarke can play a huge part in the future of the club, and Leeds should be doing everything they can to keep hold of the winger who has been impressive in his breakthrough season in Marcelo Bielsa's side.

Leeds' promotion hopes could take a serious dent 

Leeds are on course for a long-awaited return to the Premier League, and Clarke has certainly played his part in the recent success of the club.

He has netted some crucial goals, and been on hand to provide some vital assists, and is a key player in Marcelo Bielsa's squad this season.

If they are to sell Clarke, then Leeds' promotion bid could take a serious hit, and many supporters would fear that they could drop out of the promotion race.

The Whites miss out on a larger sum of money 

With Clarke still at the young age of 18, there's no doubting that he has many successful years ahead of him.

If Leeds opt to cash in on the £5m offered for the winger, then they could be losing out on a huge sum of money in future years if he moves to a bigger club from Southampton.

They either need to get a higher sum of money for Clarke, or not sell him until they get a suitable offer that reflects his value in today's market.
