Tottenham are reportedly looking to add two wingers this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to sign both PSV winger Steven Bergwijn and Leeds’ Jack Clarke, report The Mail.

Bergwijn is valued at £35 million by the Dutch side, but despite this, Spurs plan to sign Clarke too.

The Mail reported this week that Tottenham are working on a £12 million move for Clarke. Leeds want closer to £20 million.

Tottenham did not sign a single player this season and will be looking to finally make up for that this summer.

Spurs’ interest in Bergwijn could have been taken as a positive sign for Leeds, had it prompted them to drop their interest. It does not sound as though this could be the case.

Bergwijn, 21, scored 14 goals and provided 13 assists this season for PSV.

18-year-old Clarke scored twice and provided two assists in his breakthrough Championship season, which saw him make just four starts.

Leeds’ can still hope that Spurs landing Bergwijn could prompt them to send Clarke back to Leeds on loan for another year, but there is no mention of this in The Mail‘s report.
