Tottenham confirm Jack Clarke loan deal as winger joins Stoke for remainder of 2020/21 season

Tottenham winger Jack Clarke has sealed a loan move to Stoke City for the remainder of the 2020/21 season.

Joining the Lilywhites from Leeds United in July 2019 after making a huge impression for the West Yorkshire club in the Championship, the York-born player returned to Elland Road on loan as part of the deal but he barely featured.

Tottenham subsequently recalled him and loaned him to QPR last January, with the move also not going to plan.

Impressing Jose Mourinho and the coaching staff at Hotspur Way on his return to the club in the summer, the head coach elected to keep the youngster in N17 rather than loaning him out again.

Coming off the bench in the Europa League tie against LASK in October for his competitive debut for Spurs, he then did likewise the following month against Ludogorets.

Clarke was once again handed game time on Sunday evening in the FA Cup tie against Marine, playing the final 25 minutes of the contest as he replaced Dele Alli.

Amid a lot of speculation over his future this month, Tottenham have decided to loan him out to Stoke City for the remainder of the season.

Speaking after the Potters confirmed the loan deal, manager Michael O'Neill said: "Jack is an exciting young wide player who will bring an added dimension to our resources for the remainder of the season."

Clarke will train with his new teammates for the first time today ahead of this weekend's game against Blackburn Rovers.

Stoke are currently eighth in the Championship and two points off the play-offs after 23 games of the season.
