The defender from Queens Park Rangers, who has experience in the Premier League, is drawing interest from both Wolves and Celtic this summer.

Reports suggest that Stoke City has also entered the race for Jake Clarke-Salter, the center-back from QPR, alongside Celtic, indicating a growing interest in acquiring his services ahead of the upcoming transfer window.

Having showcased a strong performance throughout the season with 33 appearances in the Championship, Clarke-Salter’s contributions have made him a sought-after asset for potential suitors. The tall defender played a crucial role in QPR’s efforts to avoid relegation under Marti Cifuentes.

Initial speculation linked Celtic with a move for Clarke-Salter, but now it seems that Stoke City, another Championship club, is considering making a bid, as reported by journalist John Percy of The Daily Telegraph. Percy mentioned Stoke City’s intention to bolster their squad during the summer, with Clarke-Salter identified as a primary target, potentially commanding a transfer fee ranging from £5-7 million. Additionally, there’s interest from other Premier League clubs.

Wolves have also expressed interest in signing Clarke-Salter, seeing him as a player capable of making the transition to the Premier League. Despite having only one Premier League appearance during his time with Chelsea, the 26-year-old defender has caught the eye of clubs higher up the football pyramid.

Having moved to QPR from Chelsea in 2022 after failing to secure a first-team spot at Stamford Bridge, Clarke-Salter has become a key figure at Loftus Road, amassing 49 appearances for the club. His current contract with QPR runs until the end of next season.
