Clarke joined Spurs in the summer of 2019 with the Lilywhites shelling out a fee of £9.9 million. The youngster was loaned out back to Leeds United for the first half of the 2019/20 season. On his return to Tottenham, he was loaned out again to Queens Park Rangers. The temporary stint at Stoke is his third consecutive loan spell (as per Transfermarkt).
At Stoke, the youngster has made 14 appearances while picking up a couple of assists for the side.

A lot of these Spurs fans are disappointed by this news update and they’re making their sadness clear about Clarke’s situation.
Clarke played just seven times for QPR last season, which suggests that he didn’t get a great deal of opportunity at Loftus Road. But he was playing more regularly at Stoke, which makes this injury an even bigger disappointment.
He has made only three first-team appearances for Spurs and to break into the side, he might need to prove his worth by playing and scoring elsewhere. This injury perhaps diminishes his chances of making a mark at Tottenham.
