da lvbet： Tottenham Hotspur are unwilling to match Leeds United’s valuation for Jack Clarke, per the Yorkshire Evening Post.
What’s the word?
Clarke is, the report states, being monitored by Spurs ahead of a potential summer move.
The 18-year-old made his breakthrough at Elland Road under Marcelo Bielsa in 2018/19 and went on to make 25 appearances in all competitions.
He scored two goals and laid on two assists as Leeds narrowly missed out on promotion.
But the report states that Spurs are not currently likely to match the Whites’ asking price for the teenager as they look to complete their first signing since January 2018.
The Daily Mirror claim that the Championship club are seeking to recoup £20m.
A fearful start
This does not bode at all well for Spurs.
Of all the deals that have been mooted – including those for elite midfielders Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso, of Lyon and Real Betis respectively – Clarke appeared to be the most doable.
But if chairman Daniel Levy isn’t going to pay up for him, that spells trouble for the rest of the window.
Ndombele would cost over £70m while Lo Celso has an £88.9m release clause.
If a deal for Clarke at £20m is too much of a stretch for Levy, hopes won’t be raised at the club regarding any other moves.
As a result, fans shouldn’t hold their breath when it comes to transfer announcements.
