Tottenham Hotspur are close to sealing a deal for Leeds United starlet Jack Clarke, according to multiple reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Among others, the Yorkshire Evening Post<\/a> claims Clarke did not train with his Leeds teammates on Wednesday as he was in London to undergo a medical with Spurs.<\/p>\n

Jack Clarke’s debut season: Five key things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Clarke, 18, made his debut for Leeds in October last year against Brentford.<\/li>\n
  2. He went on to score two goals, including a fine individual effort against Aston Villa, and registered two assists in 22 league appearances.<\/li>\n
  3. There was concern when the teenager fell ill in a match against Middlesbrough in February.<\/li>\n
  4. Clarke was simply suffering from a virus and soon returned to first-team action.<\/li>\n
  5. He ended his debut season by winning the club’s Young Player of the Year award.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Tottenham are expected to pay \u00a310m with the fee rising to \u00a311.5m<\/a> including add-ons.<\/p>\n

    There had been talk of Clarke returning to Leeds on loan for the 2019\/20 season, but reports<\/a> suggest Spurs want the 18-year-old to fight for a place in the first-team next term.<\/p>\n

    The Londoners haven’t made a signing since Lucas Moura’s arrival from Paris Saint-Germain in January 2018, but that will change if Clarke agrees to join.<\/p>\n
