Tottenham signed Jack Clarke from Leeds in the summer.

Tottenham Hotspur winger Jack Clarke has not had an enjoyable start to the season.

He was loaned back to Leeds, to gain more experience at a club where he made only four first team starts last season.

Clarke is edging closer to his first Championship appearances of the season.

He has been named on the bench by Marcelo Bielsa during the last two Championship games.

These are small steps for Clarke, but encouraging progress nonetheless.

After being on the bench in the first two games, Clarke went six weeks without even making the Leeds squad.

He was left having to play under-23 football, and The Mirror reported a fortnight ago that he could be recalled by Tottenham due to a lack of action.

There is a long time until January, and Clarke can change the discourse surrounding him.

All he needs is a chance, and then he has to seize it.

It might be getting closer. The signs are very slowly, looking positive.
