Liverpool is set to lock away another one of their young stars with Bobby Clark set to sign a new and improved five year contract.
Clark who signed his first contract shortly after turning 17 last year is seen as a young talent on the rise having being part of the traveling party for Liverpool’s pre-season tour and he also travelled with the squad for Sunday’s clash against Newcastle but did not make the bench for the fixture.
In a playing sense, Clark has continued his impressive progress from last season in the U/21s most notably in the 4-0 rout against Everton.
It is an important step for the talented youngsters to continue their development away from their comfort zone where they can learn by playing senior football in another league.
And the Echo reports that Derby County could be the place where Clark begins that journey.
It is believed the League One club are very keen on a season long loan, but a short term deal could also be a option that suits Liverpool, as they can assess his progress midway through the campaign and take it from there.
Championship clubs have also said to to have registered a interest in taking Clark on loan earlier in the summer on loan but it is believed if a move is made before the deadline, then Derby will be his destination.
Clark may not be the only temporary departure on deadline day with Tyler Morton and Luke Chambers also attracting interest.
