Sunderland have agreed a deal with Spurs to bring Jack Clarke back to Wearside. The former Leeds United wideman spent last season on loan with the Black Cats, joining in January and making 20 appearances - and scoring one goal - as he helped the club win promotion to the Championship via the play-offs.
Clarke returned to Spurs at the end of the season but Sunderland retained an interest in him and in recent weeks have been talking to the Londoners about a deal. And ChronicleLive understands that agreement has been reached, and Clarke has undergone a medical ahead of a permanent move.
Sunderland are currently at a warm-weather training camp in Portugal, and Clarke is expected to fly out to link up with Alex Neil and his squad tomorrow. The Black Cats take on Scottish Europa League finalists Rangers tomorrow night and Clarke is likely to be in attendance.
