Cook, who bagged 18 goals in fifty first-team appearances during his debut season in the EFL, is not going to be short of suitors with the 28-year-old continuing to find the back of the net on a regular basis, something which is becoming increasingly harder to come by.
41-year-old Clarke, who penned a three-year deal at Banks's Stadium, is going to have a busy summer break as the League Two Saddlers have almost twenty players due to be out-of-contract at the end of June.
The former Salisbury City and Bristol Rovers boss admitted that he would like to see Bishop Auckland-born Cook stay but will not accept players not wanting to stay, with the Mansfield-born gaffer happy to offload anyone who doesn't show their commitment to the cause.
Darrell, who was speaking via the Express & Star, said; "I will sit down and have a chat with Andy. But having interest in one of my players is nothing I haven’t seen before. That is football.
"When you score goals, you are going to have interest from other football clubs. What I will say is – and I’ve always worked like this – if players don’t want to be here, they will be gone.
"I will get the best price for them and out they go, simple as that. You want players who committed, I want everyone signing off the same page. I want players who are committed to the rebuild.
"I am an open manager, my door is always open. Chat to me, be honest with me. And I know at times players want to move on. Certainly you want to try and keep hold of your best players. But their hearts have got to be in it."
