Accepting £20 million for the Tottenham Hotspur target is a no-brainer for Leeds United.
According to The Mirror, Leeds United are demanding £20 million for Tottenham Hotspur-linked Jack Clarke.

A lot of Leeds fans might be disappointed if Tottenham double their bid and lure him away from West Yorkshire, given that he’s a Thorp Arch product, one of their own.
But selling is an absolute no-brainer for that price.
Clarke is a big talent, but when you unpack his potential there is only 806 minutes of Championship football under his belt – ever.
In other words, he only has 8.9 full games of senior football – again, ever – and if Spurs want to pay through the nose for someone so inexperienced, United shouldn’t stop them.
Besides, how much more could Leeds really get for Clarke? Even if he has an outstanding 2019-20 campaign, his value isn’t going to fly well beyond what it already reportedly is.
Selling now makes complete sense for the Whites and although it’ll upset some of their fans, many will agree that it’s the right move.
