A number of Tottenham fans have been impressed on Twitter after seeing summer signing Jack Clarke score a brilliant goal during Leeds United’s latest pre-season friendly.

Clarke was one of the players to be left at home by Marcelo Bielsa while the majority of the first-team squad travel to Australia. And that gave the winger the chance to play against Tadcaster Albion on Wednesday night.

Unsurprisingly, Leeds ran out comfortable winners, with a hat-trick from Ryan Edmondson helping the Whites to a 5-1 victory. Spurs loanee Clarke provided two assists, while he also got on the scoresheet.

The winger cut in from wide to get on the end of a superb team move and curl an effort emphatically into the bottom corner from the edge of the box. The opposition may not be of the highest standard, but the finish was still outstanding.

And it is fair to say that it caught the eye of a number of Spurs supporters on social media. There are high hopes for the teenager after he became the club’s first signing since the 2018 January window earlier in the summer.

And while the fans’ main concern will be to see Clarke make a serious impact when the new campaign starts next month, plenty have suggested that they are impressed with the Leeds prospect, especially after his well-taken goal this week. One even suggested that he evoked memories of Chris Waddle.
