Tottenham Hotspur are in the hunt for Leeds United talent Jack Clarke. As reported by the Daily Mail, the Champions League finalists are targeting a potential £10 million deal for the talented young winger.

Aston Villa fans will know all about Clarke. He put in a sensational display against the promotion hopefuls earlier this season. Fans at Villa Park should also be keeping tabs on this reported move, as it could be beneficial to them.

The Mail report also states that if Clarke were to make a move to Tottenham, Mauricio Pochettino’s men could abandon their pursuit of Jack Grealish.

Aston Villa fans are fairly confident that, should they beat Derby in the play-off final, Grealish will stay at his boyhood club.

However, fail to do so and teams will surely come circling.

Tottenham wanted Grealish last summer. As reported by Sky Sports, the playmaker was one of Tottenham’s number one targets last summer. A £25 million bid was rejected and Grealish soon signed a new deal at Villa Park.

But fans at Aston Villa know that counts for very little. But if Tottenham drop out the race there is not a long reported queue of other suitors for Grealish at present.

If Tottenham were to find an alternative, that would be very welcome news at Villa Park.
