Dane Scarlett skal kommende sesong spille for Pompey.
NYHETER: Nok en spiss er på plass. Mange håpte George Hirst ville returnere fra Leicester, men selv om det ikke ble Hirst er nyheten om at Tottenhams unge spiss Dane Scarlett kommer på lån veldig godt mottatt av Pompey-fansen.
18 år gamle Dane Scarlett kommer på lån hele 2022/23-sesongen og vil sørge for at det blir veldig hard konkurranse om spissplassene. Tidligere i sommer har vi signert Joe Pigott og Colby Bishop. Nå står Pompey med tre spisser som sannsynligvis alle vil holde høy League One-kvalitet.
Scarlett har gått gradene i Tottenham og står med to Premier League-kamper for London-laget. Totalt har han ti kamper for Tottenham og han har kontrakt med klubben ut 2025/26-sesongen. Han er engelsk u-landslagsspiller og står med imponerende tolv mål på 14 kamper for U19-landslaget. Han står med totalt tre kamper og tre mål for England U15 og U16.
Manager Danny Cowley kommenterer
«We’re delighted to have Dane with us and we’re really appreciative of Tottenham for trusting us to look after one of their young players. He spent the whole of last season with the first team and featured in some of their European fixtures, training every day with world class players.
“He’s a boy who has the world at his feet and comes here after a brilliant summer with England, playing a big part in that success. There’s an intelligence beyond his years – both in and out of possession – with the timing of his runs and the movement that allows him to win space behind defenders.
We think those qualities will carry a real threat and add a different dimension to our team, while against the ball he has an unbelievable work ethic. Dane has an infectious energy and I know that the staff at both Tottenham and the England set-up think the world of him.
This is his first loan and so it won’t be easy because it’s a new experience, but we’re there to support him, like we have done with many young players in the past. We’re really looking forward to working with Dane, who’s an outstanding finisher with both feet and his head. He has a ruthlessness that centre-forwards need.”
HERE HE IS 🌟
