Former loanee top of Sheridan's shopping list

Former Latic's loanee Leon Clarke is top of John Sheridan's wanted list in the January Transfer Window. The 22 year old Sheffield Wednesday striker had a successful loan spell at Boundary Park last season and did enough to impress the boss that he could help the club in their pursuit to climb up the League One table.

Alan Hardy is disappointed that news of Athletic's interest has leaked through a Sheffield radio station. He said, "I am disappointed news has leaked out as we try to keep negotiations for players private until terms have been agreed. We have spoken to Sheffield Wednesday and they have given us permission to speak to the player which we have done, and we are waiting for an answer from him."

A proposed £200,000 move to Southend United has fallen through due to contractual issues after Clarke had spent time at the Shrimpers on loan.
