da cassino online: Jack Clarke is set to meet Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho for the first time this weekend, per Football Insider.
What’s the word?
da bet sport: The winger was signed from Leeds United in the summer before he was loaned back to the Elland Road club.
He has struggled for game time with the Championship side, however, and has made just three first-team appearances. He has played a mere 19 minutes in the Championship.
And Football Insider reports that he is poised to discuss his future with the ex-Chelsea boss, ahead of a possible recall.

Spurs are said to have included a clause that allows them to recall Clarke in January and he could then be loaned out again; the report states that Fulham, Middlesbrough and Derby County are all interested.
A mistake to correct
Sources suggested to Football FanCast in the summer that Mauricio Pochettino wasn’t keen on the signing of Clarke.
Indeed, chairman Daniel Levy was forced to restructure the deal at the last minute, sending him back to Leeds, after Pochettino made it clear he did not see a place for the 19-year-old in the first-team.
Mourinho, though, could well give the teenager some agency over his future and allow him to make a decision.
After all, Spurs were essentially forced to send the England youth international back to Elland Road but, here, Mourinho can ensure that all parties get what they want.

One has to assume that is Clarke playing regular football; he will be hoping that he can pick a club that is going to utilise him properly, unlike Leeds have done.
Then, if he impresses in the second half of the season, he could well return to Spurs with the intention of breaking into the first-team.
Meanwhile, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has lifted the lid on Mauricio Pochettino’s sacking.
