Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly among the clubs interested in snapping up Championship starlet Jack Clarke.

According to Sky Sports News, Tottenham and Southampton are both chasing Leeds United wonder-kid Clarke this month.

The 18-year-old is enjoying a successful breakthrough season in the Leeds first-team and he has played 14 games under Marcelo Bielsa.

With two goals and two assists to his name, Clarke is one of the most exciting young talents in the second tier at the moment.

He might not be ready to nail down a regular spot in the Tottenham team just yet but Clarke is one for the near future.

And given the current injury crisis in North London, it seems like the perfect excuse for Mauricio Pochettino to snap Clarke up.

Dele Alli, Harry Kane, Lucas Moura and Moussa Sissoko are all injured, while Son Heung-Min remains at the Asia Cup with South Korea.

With options in attack looking limited at the minute, Clarke could come in and bolster Pochettino’s options in the short-term.

But if Tottenham decide to dither, they might end up losing out on the talented teenager with a host of clubs chasing his services.

Tottenham should use their current circumstances to complete a January swoop for Clarke.
