Tottenham look set to recall Jack Clarke from his Leeds United loan spell next month.
That’s according to the Daily Mail, who also claim that Fulham and Brentford are now monitoring the 19-year-old and could make a loan offer for the winger next month.
Clarke, a former Palace target, has failed to start a Championship encounter for the Whites this season after returning to Elland Road following an £11m summer switch to Spurs.
The 19-year-old has featured in just 19 minutes of league action in West Yorkshire after becoming one of the second-tiers biggest breakthrough stars last season.

Clarke looks set to head out on loan again for the second half of the campaign, and it looks as if Spurs want to keep him in and around London to monitor him closely.
So, if the Eagles are still keen, they could stand a chance of adding the youngster to their ranks for the rest of the season.
Roy Hodgson could be a busy man in the January window, especially if Wilfried Zaha seals a Selhrst park exit.
Clarke wouldn’t be the man to replace directly Zaha of course, but he would certainly bring something different to the side.
His raw ability, direct approach and lightning pace is what initially attracted Spurs over the summer, and if he can get back to his form from last season, he could prove to be a shrewd signing by Palace.
