’MIRACULOUS’: 22-YEAR-OLD WINGER TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR GOT RID OF IS ‘UNPLAYABLE’ NOW
Jack Clarke moved to Tottenham Hotspur from Leeds United, but the winger struggled to have a significant influence there. At Sunderland, though, the player is currently thriving.
In the summer of 2019, when they reached an agreement with Leeds United, Tottenham Hotspur paid up to £8.5 million in transfer fees for Jack Clarke.
That moment, Clarke was 18 years old.
Sunderland winger Jack Clarke struggled at Tottenham Hotspur
When he was signed by Spurs, the winger had played in a meager number of games for Leeds’ first team.
Clarke was supposed to be a superstar at Tottenham, but the winger didn’t do much of note while playing for the North London club.
The winger signed a permanent deal with the Black Cats in 2022 after spending time on loan at Leeds, Queens Park Rangers, Stoke City, and Sunderland.
At Sunderland right now, he is thriving.
Jack Clarke a star at Sunderland now
The English youngster is becoming a goal machine now.
Clarke has scored seven goals in nine Championship matches so far this season.
The Sunderland no. 20 scored nine goals and gave 12 assists in the Championship last season.
Clarke’s latest goals came in Sunderland’s 3-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday away from home in the Championship on Friday evening.
The 22-year-old scored twice, first from the penalty spot in the eighth and then again in the third minute.
With seven goals, Clarke has surpassed everyone else in the Championship right now.
Following the game, Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray praised Clarke.
According to Mowbray’s comments about Clarke, according to ChronicleLive, “He’s a terrific footballer, he’s incredibly positive, really confident at the moment.
“Something amazing has happened to Jack, and he is now playing with confidence and believe in himself, when I think back to when I was manager of Blackburn Rovers two and a half years ago and Jack Clarke was playing for Tottenham U23s and not receiving a kick against our young squad.
He occasionally makes it impossible to play because it’s unclear if he’s heading outside or inside.
