The Leeds United winger looks set to leave this summer.

A lot of Leeds United fans are firmly in Danny Mills’s corner over claims he made about Jack Clarke on Friday.

Mills, speaking to Sky Sports, said that Clarke will barely play if he joins Tottenham Hotspur, who will reportedly confirm his arrival on Monday.

The 18-year-old winger started only four Championship games for Leeds in what was an promising breakthrough season last term overall.

But to go from only having a handful of second-tier starts under your belt, to being a Premier League regular, is one hell of a leap and one that Mills claims that the teenager could be taking a ‘backwards’ step in his career.

And fans of the Elland Road seem to wholeheartedly agree with their former right-back’s suggestion:

Clarke, whose senior career is comprised of only 814 minutes [WhoScored], will join Spurs for £8.5 million initially [The Sun] and United could get £4.5 million more in add-ons.

If and when it goes through, he could be the Londoners’ first signing in over 18 months, which might increase the pressure on the young lad.
