Tony Mowbray insists Jack Clarke 'loves playing' at Sunderland and is 'in no rush' to leave despite Burnley's pursuit of the winger. Clarke is understood to have been the subject of multiple bids from Vincent Kompany's Clarets, who won promotion to the Premier League last season.
So far, Sunderland have knocked back the interest in the 22-year-old former Spurs man, and head coach Mowbray hopes he will remain on Wearside. "My conversation with him - and again, I don't get overly involved with what goes on behind the scenes, he said to me he loves playing here, he's in no rush to leave but if that's what pans out, he's a footballer, if he moves he moves," said Mowbray.
"He's not stamping his feet or being petulant or creating a problem in training. He's working hard and enjoys his football."
