Best Alternatives to Jack Clarke

Playing Style Analysis

Clarke is the rare Championship winger who wins aerial duels at an elite rate while simultaneously functioning as a primary ball-progressor — a combination that almost no attacker at this level produces. His 60% aerial win rate places him in the top 5% of forwards in the division, yet that headline figure slightly obscures the more important story: his 4.54 passes into the final third per 90 is equally top-5%, meaning he isn't just holding up play, he's driving it. The 0.59 goals per 90 confirms genuine end-product, and his duel win rate and tackling numbers suggest a pressing engine that coaches will quietly love. The three closest DNA matches to Jack Clarke:
