Career
Claesen was signed by Tottenham Hotspur in October 1986 by David Pleat who bought him from Standard Liège for £600K. He made his debut against Liverpool at Anfield.[2] In August 1988, when Terry Venables arrived, Claesen fell out of favour and was sold for £550K to Antwerp FC.[2] He also played for VfB Stuttgart.[3]
International career
He earned 36 caps and scored 12 goals from 1983 to 1990 for the Belgium national football team, and was in the squad for three major tournaments: UEFA Euro 1984, the 1986 FIFA World Cup, where he scored three goals as Belgium finished in fourth, and the 1990 FIFA World Cup.
