Jack Clarke has a ‘strong chance’ of being involved for Tottenham Hotspur against LASK this evening, according to Football London.

Clarke was sent out on two unsuccessful loan spells by Spurs last term, as he failed to make much of an impact in the Championship.

However, Jose Mourinho has apparently been very impressed by the teenaged winger in training this summer.

Clarke has shown his quality in Spurs training sessions and now could be rewarded for his efforts with a place on the bench this evening.

Tottenham are allowed to name 12 players as substitutes tonight, and Clarke is apparently likely to be one of them.

If Clarke is selected it will be the first time he has ever made it into a first-team squad for Tottenham.

It is also another indication that Mourinho is a big fan of the prospect and should be a much needed boost to his confidence.

Spurs apparently knocked back offers from Championship sides to Clarke on loan this summer, as Mourinho wanted to keep him around to learn from the likes of Gareth Bale on the training pitch.

It now remains to be seen whether Clarke will be given a chance to come on later.

But his likely inclusion should be seen as a positive sign for the youngster and an indication that his move to Spurs could still be a success.
