Jack Clarke is intent on proving he is ready for life at Tottenham after sealing a summer transfer to the north London club.
Tottenham completed the signing of Clarke from Leeds United on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee on Tuesday, though the 18-year-old will return to Elland Road on loan for the duration of the 2019-20 campaign.
Clarke becomes the first signing made by Mauricio Pochettino's Champions League finalists since Lucas Moura joined from Paris St Germain in January 2018.
"I'm delighted to join Tottenham and in the short term I'll be giving my all to hopefully help Leeds win promotion," Clarke told Spurs' website.
Clarke only made his senior debut in October but impressed enough to be named Leeds' young player of the season.
Marcelo Bielsa's side reached the Sky Bet Championship play-off semi-finals, where they were beaten by Derby.
Clarke made 25 appearances in all competitions for the West Yorkshire club, 20 as a substitute, and scored twice.
Following his move to Spurs, Clarke said: “This is such a big club. Watching the team in the Champions League last season and seeing how well they did, then with the training ground, the facilities and obviously the bunch of players that are here… they’re top players and I’m looking forward to getting to play with them and train with them.
"I feel like this club could really help me push on as a player and I don’t think I could be in a better environment.
“It’s unreal to be here. It’s definitely something I couldn’t have imagined a couple of years ago but now I’m really looking forward to everything.”
