Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho is expected to take a closer look at Jack Clarke in pre-season, with a view to promoting him to the first-team, according to Football London.

Tottenham signed Clarke from Leeds United last summer, but the 19-year-old has struggled since his big move to the Premier League.

Clarke spent the first half of the season out on loan at Leeds but barely played.

The winger was then relocated to QPR in January, but the Spurs youngster has still failed to break into Mark Warburton’s starting line-up.

There are now question marks over what Mourinho’s next step with Clarke will be.

Tottenham will surely feel that the past year has done little for their prospect’s development, but he may not be ready for their first-team yet.

And Football London suggest that another loan is the most likely option for Clarke, who will be hoping to prove his worth next term.
