The 23-year-old was instrumental in Sunderland’s Championship title the previous year and has shown himself to be one of the best wingers in the second division of English football thus far this year.
Spurs may benefit from Southampton’s planned bid for the teenage winger at the conclusion of the season, according to a story published in The Sun last week. The article also noted that Tottenham has a 25% sell-on clause in place for the player.
Interest mounting in former Spurs winger Jack Clarke
According to O’Rourke, Sunderland is now realizing that their promotion bid is failing and they will need to cash in on Clarke.
The reporter adds Southampton to the list of teams considering the former Spurs player, and he discloses that West Ham United and Crystal Palace are also involved in the contest.
He says that a £20 million offer is needed to persuade Sunderland to part with their best player. Tottenham would owe £5 million if Clarke were to get that amount as per their sell-on clause.

Ange Postecoglou reportedly wants to increase the number of reinforcements in the summer for the wide areas. Given that they can get Clarke for a reduced fee, I wonder if Spurs will be inclined to compete for his signature.
However, considering how difficult it was for him to get playing time during his first stint at the team, the 23-year-old might be reluctant to return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
