Leeds United will reportedly get Jack Clarke back from Tottenham Hotspur on loan.

Leeds United fans on Twitter are split on the latest report about soon-to-be Tottenham Hotspur player Jack Clarke.

Spurs are poised to announce the signing of the 18-year-old winger today.

According to The Daily Mail, Tottenham will immediately loan Clarke back to Leeds on a season-long loan.

Clarke is a product of United’s Thorp Arch academy and although many fans believe that this represents good business, others would prefer a clean break.

Here’s how fans of the Elland Road club reacted:

It isn’t that good of a deal for the West Yorkshire side. They’re only getting £8.5 million up front for Clarke [The Daily Mail]. For context, Sampdoria paid for £7.7 million for Ronaldo Vieira last summer.

It isn’t a huge amount of money when you consider Tottenham’s financial clout, combined with Clarke’s potential.

HITC Sport wrote on Sunday about how a potential return to Elland Road could end in tears for the teenage starlet.
