# Celtic: Neil Lennon renews interest in signing Jack Clarke from Tottenham

**According to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-celtic-plot-move-to-sign-tottenham-sensation-first-offer-in/), Celtic want to sign Tottenham attacker [Jack Clarke](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-clarke/profil/spieler/559794) (currently [on loan at QPR](https://www.qpr.co.uk/news/club-news/jack-clarke-completes-qpr-loan-move/)) this summer after losing out on landing him in [January](https://www.footballinsider247.com/celtic-make-move-to-sign-spurs-ace-jack-clarke/).**

The Hoops are weighing up whether to get a better idea of the player by attempting to sign him on a season-long loan in the upcoming summer transfer window.

The 19-year-old has already had an eventful career, having been[lauded by his former manager Marcelo Bielsa](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/marcelo-bielsa-transcript-leeds-united-15493231) during his time at Leeds, and his talent did not go unnoticed as Premier League side Tottenham signed the winger in July 2019 after his [first season in professional football](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-clarke/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/559794) on a deal worth around £10m, as per [BBC](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/48838581).

Although he has [not yet played for Spurs](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-clarke/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/559794), his performances for Leeds hinted at the scale of his potential. In his time at Elland Road, he averaged 1.2 successful dribbles per game, via [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/PlayerComparison), highlighting his ability at taking on opposition defences, and to be confident in doing this at such a young age bodes well for his future growth.

Meanwhile it looks unlikely that Celtic will be able to keep hold of current on-loan winger Mohamed Elyounoussi, as the player has declared he wants to prove he can make it in the Premier League at Southampton.

Speaking to [TV2](https://www.tv2.no/sport/11362963/) about his future, Elyounoussi said: “I still have three years left of the contract with Southampton and I want to show myself from a better side than what I have done. I hope I can come back and fight back a place.”

Therefore, Clarke could be the ideal replacement for the Norwegian and, as they did with Elyounoussi, a loan move could be a good idea as well for the Hoops, who can benefit from having the player for several months without committing to a transfer fee in case it doesn’t work out but potentially seek to sign him permanently if all goes well.
