Tottenham boss Postecoglou ponders Scarlett loan after Cup exit

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou admits Dane Scarlett could leave on-loan after their Carabao Cup defeat to Fulham.

Richarlison canceled out an own goal from Micky van de Ven to take the game to a shootout, only for Davinson Sanchez to have his penalty saved and Fulham to win the tie.

On Scarlett, Postecoglou said: "Yeah I thought he was bright when he came on. He has been really good for us in training, he's working really hard. Look, I'll sit down with Dane over the next couple of days and sort of chart a way forward for him. I really think he's definitely got a future at our club and I really like his attributes as a striker.

"It's always a balance with young players, will they get enough game time because for him the next stage of development is to play. He played a fair few games last year and I think he's improved as a player since then.

"I'll make that decision over the next couple of days and sit down with him, but I certainly see him as a Tottenham player and a lot of that will depend on what else happens over the next two or three days."
