Jack Clarke could not make a massive impact at Tottenham Hotspur following his move from Leeds United, but the winger is flourishing at Sunderland now.
Tottenham Hotspur spent as much as £8.5 million in transfer fees on Jack Clarke when they got a deal done with Leeds United in the summer of 2019.
Clarke was 18 at the time.
Sunderland winger Jack Clarke struggled at Tottenham Hotspur
The winger had made only a handful of matches for the Leeds first team when Spurs signed him.
Clarke was expected to be a star at Tottenham, but the winger failed to do much of note at the North London club.
After loan spells at Leeds, Queens Park Rangers, Stoke City and Sunderland, the winger moved to the Black Cats on a permanent contract in 2022.
And, he is flourishing at Sunderland at the moment.
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 in the eighth minute and then from the penalty spot on 31 minutes.
Clarke is now the top scorer in the Championship at the moment with seven goals.
Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray raved about Clarke after the match.
ChronicleLive quotes Mowbray as saying about Clarke: “He’s an amazing footballer, he’s really positive, really confident at the moment.
“When I think back to being manager of Blackburn Rovers two-and-a-half years ago and Jack Clarke playing for Tottenham U23s and not getting a kick against our young team, something miraculous has happened to Jack and he is now playing with confidence and belief in himself.
“At times he is unplayable, you don’t know whether he is going down the outside or whether he is cutting inside to bend it in like he did for the first goal.”
