Jack Clarke is a name you are more than likely to hear a lot of this January as teams in the Championship compete for his signature.

The former Leeds United youngster was snapped up by Tottenham in the summer before being loaned back to the Whites, but rules relating to number of loan players allowed in matchday squads badly limited his playing time, racking up just two appearances in the first-half of the campaign.

Unsurprisingly he was recalled by the North-Londoners as soon as possible but is expected to go back out on loan again this month.

Whilst Stoke City and Middlesbrough remain interested in his signature, Spurs are apparently keen for him to remain in the capital.

So with Brentford, QPR and Millwall all interested, we assess each possible path...

Brentford

For a young attacker, there is probably not a more enticing team in the Championship to play for than Thomas Frank's Bees.

They currently sit in third place with their blistering attacking prowess making them a threat against any opposition, with Bryan Mbeumo, Ollie Watkins and Said Benrahma forming probably the best attacking line in the division.

If Clarke could break into that unit it would be an unbelievable experience for him and it is an environment he would almost certainly thrive in.

Breaking into it could well be a problem, however.

QPR

Similar to Brentford, QPR also boast an array of attacking talent and are a side who pride themselves on their frontfoot ability.

Unlike at Griffin Park, however, Clarke would have the chance to play for two experienced Championship pros in the form of Nahki Wells and Jordan Hugill, something which could prove huge in his development as a winger.

Warburton has also already proven his abilities in getting the best out of young players with Ebere Eze, Bright Osayi-Samuel and Ilias Chair all coming on massively under his stewardship.

This should be the clincher for Clarke and for Tottenham as well.

Millwall

This is possibly the more left-field option for Tottenham and the player.

Conventually the Lions are not known for their exciting attacking play, usually opting for the more pragmatic approach, and that has largely been no different under Gary Rowett.

However, there would still be plenty of benefits to joining Millwall. His workrate would almost certainly improve hugely at The Den as would his overall physical game.

Clarke was always rather slight whilst at Leeds at it would surely do him some good to be thrown into a bruising environment as well.
