Jack Clarke's agent has confirmed that he is happy at Sunderland but concedes "every player has a price" amid links with a transfer to Everton.
The Blues are bracing themselves for an important summer as they look to put the foundations in place to rectify the mistakes that have left them treading dangerously close to relegation. In back-to-back seasons, Evertonians have been forced to bite their nails going into the business end of the season hoping their team can survive the drop.
Clarke enjoyed a fruitful season at the Stadium of Light as the former Tottenham Hotspur youngster was in the Sunderland squad that reached the Championship play-offs. Although their promotion ultimately ended in disappointment, at the hands of eventual play-off winners Luton Town, the 22-year-old scored nine goals in 47 appearances, sparking speculation over a move to Merseyside.
