Anderson's Newcastle team-mate, Barnes, is reported to be considering a switch of allegiance after playing once for England in a friendly win over Wales three years ago.
When asked about Barnes, Clarke said: "Probably the same comment, to think about that after.
"We want the best players we can possibly get. If they are eligible for Scotland and they have a chance to play for us and they can improve the squad that I've got - which is not an easy thing to do...
"And I get all the story round it, because we are playing England you want to speak about Elliot, you want to speak about Harvey.
"I quite like speaking about the boys I have got because they have put us in a really good position and they deserve a lot of credit for that."
Gareth Southgate speaking about both Harvey Barnes and Elliot Anderson:
"Both are very good players. Harvey [Barnes] has played for us and we have lots of competition. We are monitoring him and we like him a lot. Elliot Anderson has progressed really well and we have previously spoken with him but he's with Scotland and we thought that was that. He had a great pre-season and Newcastle rate him highly. I don't know the answer to the question [about both players' international futures].
