It looks like the Leeds United talent is heading for Tottenham Hotspur.
Leeds United’s Jack Clarke appears to be on his way to Tottenham Hotspur.
According to The Sun, the 18-year-old is set to join Spurs in what could be the North London club’s first transfer in 18 months, if it’s completed before Tottenham’s other targets.
But the report adds that Leeds will only get around £8.5 million up front for their teenage winger.
The rest will come in add-ons, according to The Sun, and that doesn’t exactly help the Whites much as Marcelo Bielsa looks to improve his squad in an effort to increase their chances of winning Premier League promotion.
And suffice to say that fans of the Elland Road club aren’t over the moon about the reported figure:
Ideally, Leeds would get the full whack up front and it would better enable them to sign players this summer, but if taking £8.5 million for starters is what it takes to end this saga then perhaps it’s for the best.
The situation with Clarke – who only has four Championship starts under his belt, ever – has been a bit of a distraction and once it’s done and dusted, maybe the Whites can kick-start their own spending spree.
