Tottenham fans question Jack Clarke interest following latest batch of rumours

Rumours regarding the future of Leeds United winer Jack Clarke continue to circulate, with reports suggesting Tottenham Hotspur are stepping up their interest in the 18-year-old.

But fans of the Premier League outfit are less than impressed with the possibility of bringing the Whites winger from Elland Road to London and the Premier League ahead of the new campaign.

The Champions League finalists are reported to be offering £8.5m for the Thorp Arch graduate, with an additional £4.5m in add-ons taking the whole package up to £13m.

Supporters however are skeptical over whether Clarke is the right man for Spurs to break their transfer drought with, after the club notoriously resisted making any new signings in the last two windows.

Clarke made 24 appearances across all competitions this season for United, netting two goals and was named as the club's Young Player of the Year at their end-of-season awards under Marcelo Bielsa.

His string of eye-catching performances had attracted a number of rumoured suitors, though Mauricio Pochettino's side are widely tipped to announce a deal in the near-future ahead of other top flight rivals Arsenal, Southampton and Manchester City.

He is due to report back this week for United's pre-season, as the Whites begin their warm-up preparations for the new campaign with a trip to Australia.

Following local games with York and Guiseley, they will head to Australia to face Manchester United in Perth and Western Sydney Wanderers in New South Wales, with the latter game opening their hosts' new stadium.

Here is a look at how Spurs fans are reacting to reports on social media:
