Ipswich Targets Jack Clarke with Tottenham Set to Benefit

Newly promoted Ipswich Town is set to make a bid for Sunderland winger Jack Clarke in a bid to strengthen their squad for the upcoming Premier League season, English daily iNews confirmed.

However, it is reported that London side Tottenham Hotspur will benefit significantly from the deal.

When Clarke was transferred from Tottenham to Sunderland, the London club secured a 40% sell-on clause. As a result, Tottenham will receive a substantial share of any transfer fee Ipswich agrees to pay.

The 23-year-old is valued in the region of £18m.
