Tottenham confirm third summer transfer exit as Jack Clarke joins Sunderland

Jack Clarke has left Tottenham Hotspur and completed a permanent move to Championship side Sunderland. Struggling for match action in N17 since his move to the club from Leeds United, the winger returns to the northeast on a four-year deal after a successful loan spell with the Black Cats last season.

Initially remaining with Spurs for the first part of the 2021/22 campaign as he looked to impress new manager Nuno Espirito Santo, Clarke departed in January and headed to the Stadium of Light. Getting some much-needed minutes under his belt, the York-born star played his part in Sunderland winning promotion via the League One play-offs after delivering some key performances in the run-in.

Coming to the attention of a number of clubs in 2018/19 after wowing in Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds team after coming through the system at Elland Road, Spurs won the race for the youngster's signature in July 2019 in a deal worth around £10million. Immediately returning to Leeds on loan before he headed back to Tottenham in January due to a lack of playing time, the player finished the term on loan at QPR.
