T​ottenham loanee Scarlett excited about Portsmouth ambition

Tottenham youngster Dane Scarlett is delighted at the chance of regular first-team football with Portsmouth.

The teenage striker has secured a season-long loan deal with Pompey.

Scarlett, who is the youngest player to have featured in a competitive game for Spurs when he was 16, made his senior debut in 2020 in the Europa League.

He said, per the Portsmouth website: "This is an ambitious club with plenty of history and so I see a real opportunity for me at Pompey.

"I spoke to the gaffer and what he said to me was appealing, so now I'm just really excited to get started.

"Getting to see – and compete against – some of the best players in the world every day in training has helped me.

"You can learn so much from Harry Kane just by watching him and everything he does on the pitch is perfect.

"Now I'm excited to meet the boys here and I only really know Josh Oluwayemi, who recently signed.

"We'll be looking to win as many games as possible this season and personally, I'm looking to kick on and get some more minutes."
