Fans were over the moon in the summer when the club broke its long-term transfer embargo and signed the exciting Leeds United winger Jack Clarke. The 18-year-old marked the first signing since Lucas Moura joined in 2018, and signified a possible shifting of the tide in which the board would begin to spend again. Mauricio Pochettino went on to make three more additions in the window, as he looks to build for the future. Now, however, it looks as though the way the deal was done with Clarke may have been a mistake.
