Jack Clarke is expected to complete a move to Tottenham Hotspur soon.

The Leeds United winger is due for a medical after the two clubs struck a deal reported to be worth £10 million plus add-ons (BBC Sport).

He is poised to become the club’s first signing since Lucas Moura back in January 2018.

Talented Clarke made his Leeds debut last October and went on to appear in 25 games in 2018/19.

He started brightly but tailed off slightly towards the end, but that appears not to have mattered with Spurs on the verge of confirming his capture.

Clarke is a brilliant prospect for the future and Mauricio Pochettino will no doubt be great for his development – but there is another individual who could subtly help bring out the best in the 18-year-old.

TBR’s view

Heung-min Son has gone from strength to strength at Tottenham following his £22 million move from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 (BBC Sport).

The South Korea international is now undoubtedly one of the best wingers in the Premier League and in the whole of Europe on his day.

One gets the feeling that Son – who is approaching his prime years now – is a huge team player and would be great for Clarke to learn from when he comes in.

Clarke being continually exposed to the star’s talents in training could well have a brilliant effect on the youngster.
