Gil coming must ring alarm bells for Clarke.
The young Tottenham winger has interest building in him but the new head coach needs to take a proper look at him first
www.football.london
football.london understands that there is interest in Clarke from two teams in the Championship and one club in Belgium about taking him on loan this season.
For Spurs, their involvement in the Europa Conference League and the play-off round means Espirito Santo is likely to blood young academy players and give minutes to fringe players in the inaugural season of UEFA's third tier competition.
The Portuguese will look at Clarke closely in the upcoming pre-season friendlies and decide whether Clarke is better served doing what he did last season and remaining until January or instead getting a full season of regular football under his belt elsewhere.
