Palace target Clarke close to Tottenham move

Crystal Palace target Jack Clarke is edging closer to completing a move to Tottenham, according to Sky Sports.

The Leeds United wide man had been a target at Selhurst Park in recent months, however, the Eagles look set to miss out on the teenager to their London rivals.

The report claims that talks between Spurs and the Whites have progressed in recent days, with Clarke keen on making the move south ahead of the new season.

Leeds will receive an initial £8.5m fee for the 18-year-old and may collect numerous add-ons in performance-related clauses.

The winger only made his first-team debut towards the end of 2018 and impressed boss Marcelo Bielsa, who used the teenager on 25 occasions.

Clarke’s impressive displays, especially from the bench, caught the eye of Palace, who were considering making a move for the player in the current window.

However, Roy Hodgson will now have to look elsewhere for wide additions, with Spurs hoping to announce a deal before the end of the week.
