Jack Clarke's nightmare spell at Tottenham Hotspur is finally over, three years after it began.
The midfielder was lured to North London from Leeds United back in the summer of 2019 for a fee of £10million. Spurs had reached a first-ever Champions League final in June that year and despite falling short to Liverpool in the showpiece, there was a hope that Tottenham were finally starting to realise their potential under Mauricio Pochettino.
The signing of Clarke that summer was one of a handful made as Spurs looked to push on, but he was very much seen as a future prospect, hence the decision to allow him to spend the 2019-20 season back at Leeds on loan. But that was to be the start of a strange season where Clarke barely featured for Leeds, then under the tutelage of Marcelo Bielsa.
