US student crosses English river, looking amorous (3-4)
I believe the answer is:
cow-eyed
'looking amorous' is the definition.
'us student crosses english river' is the wordplay.
'us student' becomes 'coed'.
'crosses' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'english river' becomes 'wey' (River Wey).
'coed' placed around 'wey' is 'COW-EYED'.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
