Tottenham have made Jack Clarke available for another loan move, Football Insider can exclusively reveal.

The £13million signing from Leeds United in 2019 has had three loan spells during his two years at Spurs.

A Spurs source has told Football Insider that Clarke, 20, is now expected to go on loan to a Championship club.

Manager Nuno Espirito Santo has decided it would be best for the forward to get regular match experience.

Clarke was immediately loaned back to Leeds as part of the deal taking him to North London two years ago.

He is contracted to the club until 2023 after signing a four-year deal ahead of his arrival at Spurs.

Clarke's breakthrough season came when he scored twice and supplied two assists for then-promotion-chasing Leeds in 2018-19.

The six-time England Under-20 international spent the second half of 2020-21 on loan with Stoke Cty in the Championship where he featured 14 times.

He is well down the pecking order at Tottenham even after the departure of Erik Lamela to Sevilla.

Highly-rated Spanish winger Bryan Gil also joined Spurs as part of the Lamela deal, meaning there are numerous obstacles between Clarke and the first team.

The youngster made his Tottenham debut as a late substitute in a 3-0 win over LASK in the Europa League in October 2020.

He has gone on to feature two more times for Spurs, once more in the Europa League and once in the FA Cup.
