Ipswich sign Clarke and agree fee for Burnley's O'Shea

Ipswich have confirmed the signing of Jack Clarke from Sunderland on a five-year deal.

The 23-year-old forward, who scored 27 goals in 114 appearances for the Black Cats, joins for an initial fee of £15m, plus £5m in potential add-ons.

Clarke becomes Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna's 10th signing of the summer.

"I'm really excited to have joined the club and can't wait to get going," said Clarke, who moved to Sunderland from Tottenham.

"Ipswich have been on a really good trajectory over the last few years and the recruitment this summer has been very impressive, so this was always something I was going to be interested in.

"Kieran McKenna really sells the club and the journey it's on, as well as what they're still trying to achieve, and you're almost silly if you don't want to jump on board with the way things have been going.

"I try to be an exciting player and contribute goals and assists so I think the style of football here will suit me, so I just feel excited to meet the lads and get started."

The Tractor Boys have also agreed a £15m fee to sign Burnley defender Dara O'Shea.

They will pay an initial £12m plus a potential £3m in add-ons.

O'Shea is expected to complete a medical in the next 24 hours and sign a five-year deal.

The Republic of Ireland international scored four goals in 35 appearances for Burnley, including one in the Clarets' season-opening win against Luton earlier in the month.

He was not in the squad for Saturday's 1-0 defeat by Sunderland.
