Bobby Clark’s transfer value soars again in huge boost for Derby County and David Clowes

Derby County midfielder Bobby Clark has seen his estimated transfer value rise to between £13m and £15m, according to the CIES Football Observatory. The valuation represents more than double the £6m fee Derby reportedly paid to sign him permanently from RB Salzburg during the summer. Clark has emerged as one of the standout performers under manager John Eustace this Championship campaign, registering three goals and two assists.

The valuation increase is viewed as a major positive for club owner David Clowes regarding profit and sustainability rules. Derby made Clark their highest summer outlay, alongside a £4m deadline-day move for Crystal Palace midfielder David Ozoh. Clark previously spent time on loan at Derby before completing a permanent transfer.
