Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of 18-year-old Leeds United winger Jack Clarke on a four-year deal worth up to a reported £11m.

Clarke played 25 games for Leeds last season and was named as the club’s Young Player of the Year and will return to the Championship side on loan for the upcoming season.

Clarke is Spurs’ first signing since January 2018, when Lucas Moura joined the club from Paris Saint-Germain

“I’m delighted to join Tottenham and, in the short term, I’ll be giving my all to hopefully help Leeds win promotion,” Clarke said.

Leeds added: “Everyone at Leeds would like to thank Jack for his efforts whilst at the club and we wish him every success for the future,” Leeds said in a statement.
