As I've said elsewhere, I think the main thing that's lacking in his play is aggression and the confidence to take players on. If we can make him more at home in the opposition penalty area with quick passing and close control, he might have a future with us. He's not going to get anywhere with deep balls from the wing.
Jesus, so if we wait another 3 years we could have another mason?!
It is still a concern however that our scouts thought he was one of the best talents in the Championship and that he was worth 10 million.
Or course you are, ENIC man

If he does end up going out on loan then he really needs to stand out, as Skipp did at Norwich. No use going to Stoke and have their fans saying he's decent, whilst not actually contributing anything meaningful in terms of goals and assists.Gil coming must ring alarm bells for Clarke.
Jack Clarke's Spurs future with Nuno Espirito Santo as three clubs show interest
The young Tottenham winger has interest building in him but the new head coach needs to take a proper look at him first
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.

He also lacks courage. When I last watched him he just played safe passes when he needs to take on a player and beat him and put a positive pass in. Lennon was young when he got in th team and was not powerful but did have pace. Clarke does not compare to Lennon at the same age.
