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.
Since transferring from Tottenham Hotspur to Sunderland in 2022 for an undisclosed amount, Clarke has evolved into a key player for the team.
If the transfer for Clarke is finalized, Ipswich’s summer spending will reach approximately £70 million, surpassing the other promoted clubs, Leicester City and Southampton.
