The Sun have revealed that Southampton are plotting a summer move for Jack Clarke, with Tottenham potentially set to benefit due to the sell-on clause they have on the player.
While Clarke was unable to impress during his three seasons at Tottenham after his move from Leeds United in 2019, the midfielder has seemingly come of age over the last two years at the Stadium of Light.
The 23-year-old played a key role in helping Sunderland win promotion to the Championship last season and has been one of the most impressive wingers in English football’s second tier so far this campaign.
Spurs would profit from Jack Clarke from sale
Unsurprisingly, the former Tottenham man is thought to be on the radar of several clubs, chief among those being Southampton, according to The Sun.
The report says that should the Saints win promotion to the Premier League, they are plotting to make a £15m move for Clarke.
With Tottenham having a 25 per cent sell-on clause on the winger, they would receive £3.7m if the player does move for £15m.
The outlet adds that Clarke wants another crack at the Premier League and would be keen to leave the Black Cats if Sunderland fail to win promotion this season.
Apart from Southampton, the likes of Brentford, Crystal Palace and Lazio are also said to be keeping an eye on the winger.
Spurs Web Opinion
While we do not know where Clarke will end up next summer, it looks certain that he will leave Sunderland if they are still in the Championship, with Tottenham in line for a sizeable financial boost.
Sunderland might be hoping to get a bidding war going for the 20-year-old and sell him for close to £20m, which will boost Spurs’ coffers by £5m.
