Tottenham Hotspur could reportedly sign Leeds United winger Jack Clarke and Fulham flyer Ryan Sessegnon.
Gareth Southgate may be the man who has breathed fresh life into English football but the affable, waistcoat-wearing Three Lions boss might have followed in the footsteps of Roy Hodgson and Steve McClaren if it wasn’t for Mauricio Pochettino.
Since the Argentine arrived in English football six years ago, he has been responsible for blooding some of England’s most exciting young talents, setting Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Adam Lallana, Luke Shaw and co into international stars.
And it seems that two more fresh-faced, British-born wonderkids are now set to work with Pochettino at Tottenham Hotspur.
According to The Mail, Spurs have reached an agreement to sign fleet-footed 18-year-old Jack Clarke from Leeds United for £10 million. The winger will have a medical in London on Wednesday.
And Clark could be joined in North London by Fulham starlet Ryan Sessegnon. Tottenham are confident of signing the 19-year-old, The Mail adds, and believe he is worth £25 million.
So if they get their way, Spurs will be bringing in two wonderful, homegrown talents for a combined £35 million. And with both Clarke and Sessegnon at their most comfortable on the left-hand side, Pochettino could be about to give Tottenham a brilliant partnership which could last ten years or more.
Just imagine; a fully-fledged Clarke racing down the wing, leaving full-backs gasping for breath before slipping a perfectly weighted ball into the overlapping Sessegnon.
