One of Leeds United’s competition in the Championship is looking to add players outside of the transfer window.

Stoke City, a Championship opponent of Leeds United, is interested in signing Ciaran Clark, a former defender for Newcastle United and Aston Villa.

The 33-year-old defender played just 10 Championship games for the Blades while on loan from Sheffield United last season, scoring two goals as the Bramall Lane team won promotion to the Premier League.

Clark was released by Newcastle following the end of the campaign and is yet to find a new club, but Alan Nixon reports the player is in talks with Stoke as they look to bolster their ranks for remainder of the second-tier season.
If a deal goes through it could see Clark line up against Leeds when Daniel Farke’s side make the trip to the Potters as the end of October.

Leeds have enjoyed a busy summer, with a number of players leaving the club while the Whites have made nine signings. Farke has yet to suggest if he will look to sign free agents now the window has shut.Jaidon Anthony joined the club on deadline day to add to the summer arrivals of Ethan Ampadu, Sam Byram, Karl Darlow Ilia Gruev, Glen Kamara, Joel Piroe, Joe Rodon and Djed Spence. Luis Sinsterra was the last to leave Leeds the summer as he joined Bournemouth on loan as part of the deal which saw Anthony head to Elland Road.

Robin Koch, Tyler Roberts, Alfie McCalmont, Ben Andreucci, Will Brook, Jay Buchan, Adam Forshaw, Stuart McKinstry, Joel Robles, Diego Llorente, Brenden Aaronson, Rodrigo, Rasmus Kristensen, Marc Roca, Owen Bray, Max Wober, Jack Harrison, Sonny Perkins, Tyler Adams, Sam Greenwood and Cody Drameh have also left the club this summer either on loans or on permanent deals.
