Tottenham Hotspur starlet Dane Scarlett has joined League One side Portsmouth on a season-long loan.
Scarlett is highly-rated by the Lillywhites and he penned a new long-term contract with the north Londoners back in May. The 18-year-old is certainly one for the future and he has now joined Pompey on loan as he looks for some regular first-team experience ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.
Spurs' statement read: "Dane Scarlett has joined League One side Portsmouth on loan for the 2022/23 season. The Academy striker, 18, made seven appearances for our first team in all competitions last term, taking his tally up to 10 since his debut against Ludogorets in November, 2020.

"Capped at youth level by England, Dane was part of the Three Lions’ Under-19 squad that won the European Championship earlier this summer, alongside team-mate Alfie Devine." Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has previously made it no secret of his admiration for the talented forward, heaping praise on the England Under-19 international's sky-high potential.
"I'm seeing a lot of improvement today in [Dane] Scarlett honestly if I have to tell you. Seeing that this guy is improving a lot, he's only 17-years-old but I can tell you that he is a really important prospect for Tottenham," Conte said in March this year.
"He has to be patient and work behind these very important players and continue to work in this way because about Scarlett, I can tell you that I see a brilliant future for him."
