Naturally, with attacking talent like Heung-min Son, Richarlison, and Dejan Kulusevski already at the club, and new signings Manor Solomon and Brennan Johnson arriving this summer, there was not quite room for any young forwards at Spurs this season.

As a result, both Troy Parrott and Dane Scarlett were sent out on loan to gain valuable experience and continue their footballing development.

Sadly, the pair are struggling for minutes at their new clubs and have not been given the chance to start a game yet.

Parrott has three goals in seven games, but has played just 112 minutes for the Dutch side (Transfermarkt). Meanwhile, Scarlett has played 125 minutes, but is yet to score in his seven brief appearances for the Tractor Boys (Transfermarkt).

Parrott and Scarlett are both struggling for starts

In his regular loan update for Football.London, Gold commented on the two players and their situations out on loan right now.

Gold details how Parrott is still stuck on the bench for Rotterdam, “despite having notched three goals in his past five Eredivisie matches.”

However, with a cup tie against Den Bosch this week, Parrott “will now be hoping to make his first start” of the season.

For Scarlett, the positive note is that he “continues to get minutes from the bench” for a side who are taking the Championship by storm.

Scarlett has “needed to be patient” but it is known that Ipswich boss, Kieran McKenna, is a “big admirer” of the Spurs youngster, which can only be a good thing for his development.

Spurs Web Opinion

I really hope these two lads start getting more minutes soon, especially Parrott. You get the feeling this could be his last real chance to stake a claim for a regular spot at Spurs, and while he’s scoring goals over in Holland, he really should be in the starting line-up.

The post Troy Parrott and Dane Scarlett are suffering from the same problem at the moment appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Scarlett is very highly thought of at Spurs, with many considering him to be a future first-team prospect.

In fact, Ange Postecoglou even brought on the striker in the second half of the Carabao Cup clash against Fulham back in August and remarked at the time that he had been impressed by the teenager in training (Football.London).

The Spurs academy graduate spent last season on loan at Portsmouth and things did not go according to plan for him at Fratton Park.

Big season ahead for Dane Scarlett at Ipswich

He will be hoping to do better at Ipswich but so far this season, Scarlett has not made a single start for the Tractor Boys, coming off the bench for all four of his appearances in the Championship (Transfermarkt).

McKenna knows Scarlett well, having worked with the striker during his time as Tottenham’s academy coach and the 37-year-old has now hinted that the youngster’s time will come.

He told The Times: “Dane’s a young striker, high pedigree, who’s had to be patient as he arrived late in the window but a really good talent. He’ll grow with us.”

Spurs Web Opinion

One can understand why McKenna does not want to change a winning combination, with Ipswich starting the season on impressive form and currently sitting second in the table.

However, the 19-year-old will likely get his chances sooner rather than later and he will have to grab them with both hands.

Tottenham go into the international break at the top of the Premier League table after an incredible start to the season under Ange Postecoglou.

The Spurs boss has bid farewell to a large portion of his squad for the next couple of weeks, as various players head out to join up with their national squads.

There are Euro 2024 qualifiers, friendly matches, youth squad action, and even some World Cup 2026 qualifiers on the way in the coming days.

On Wednesday, Ben Davies captained Wales to a 4-0 win over Gibraltar at Wrexham’s Racecourse Ground. The Spurs defender even opened the scoring on the night, nodding home from three yards out.

Meanwhile, Tottenham youngsters Luca Gunter and Ashley Phillips played the full 90 minutes as England U19s drew 0-0 with Montenegro. Alfie Dorrington was an unused substitute for the game, while Jamie Donley didn’t make the matchday squad.

Fellow youngster, Will Andiyapan, was in action for Wales U19s, playing the full 90 minutes in another 0-0 draw, against Austria.

The post Every international fixture involving Tottenham Hotspur players this week appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

The crop of first-team players at Tottenham Hotspur are flying high right now, with an eight-game unbeaten run at the start of the campaign. Ange Postecoglou’s side are now top of the Premier League table going into the international break.

While players like Heung-min Son, James Maddison, and Cristian Romero are flourishing in North London, there are a number of players still attached to the club who are plying their trade elsewhere this season.

Whether it be young players looking for valuable first-team experience, or fringe players attempting to prove their worth and secure a permanent move away from Tottenham, all the players out on loan right now have something to work towards.

How are the Spurs loanees performing this week?

In his loan report for Football.London, Alasdair Gold shares what the various Spurs loanees have been up to over the last week.

There was a “big moment” for Tanguy Ndombele this week, with the Frenchman starting for the first time for Galatasaray. He played 62 minutes against Antalyaspor, and also got a six-minute substitute appearance against Manchester United in the Champions League in midweek.

It’s Davinson Sanchez who is stealing the headlines out in Turkey, however. The former Spurs man bagged his first goal for Galatasaray in the 2-0 win over Antalyaspor, and registered two assists in the 3-2 win over Manchester United.

Joe Rodon is back from suspension, and getting praise once again for his performances in the heart of the Leeds United defence. The Welshman featured in back-to-back wins for the Championship side, against QPR and Bristol City, with LeedsLive describing him as “very solid.”

His teammate, Djed Spence, is still out injured for Leeds. As are both Sergio Reguilon at Manchester United, and Japhet Tanganga at Augsburg. The latter, however, is expected to be back in action later this month.

Moving on to the younger talent out and about gaining experience, Troy Parrott is having a great time out in Holland with Excelsior Rotterdam. The 21-year-old scored in back-to-back games recently, including a late winner in the Rotterdam derby, but he is still waiting for his first start.

Dane Scarlett, meanwhile, is having to be very “patient” at Ipswich Town. With the club “absolutely flying” in the Championship, the Spurs man is finding it difficult to break into the team, but did get a ten-minute cameo appearance in the win over Hull City in midweek.

And finally, Alfie Devine has been “drawing plenty of praise” during his time with League One outfit Port Vale. In midweek, the youngster started the game against Bristol Rovers but was replaced at half-time after picking up a yellow card.

Devine then got another 57 minutes under his belt after coming on as a substitute in the first half against Portsmouth, replacing an injured teammate for the defeat at Fratton Park.

Spurs Web Opinion

Plenty of positives this week, with both Joe Rodon potentially pushing himself closer to a permanent switch to Leeds, and Ndombele finally getting his first start.

Parrott continues to impress in the Netherlands and is doing his reputation no harm. But, I do worry about Dane Scarlett at Ipswich. If he doesn’t get a chance soon, we may have to reconsider that agreement.

The post Report: How Dane Scarlett, Alfie Devine and Troy Parrott are doing out on loan appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

The Tottenham Hotspur squad is full of talented players right now, and they are flying high at present. Ange Postecoglou remains unbeaten in the league since taking over at the club.

While the current crop of players may be doing their bit to try and get the club on the path to success, that doesn’t mean there isn’t one eye on the future at Spurs.

Currently, two of the hottest prospects at the club are out on loan. Dane Scarlett is trying his best to break into the first team at Championship pacesetters, Ipswich Town, while Alfie Devine is a division lower, with Port Vale.

Meanwhile, still at the club, two youngsters are starting to catch the eye of the first-team boss.

Postecoglou likes Dorrington and Donley

Speaking to the press (via Football.London), Postecoglou was asked about the progress of both Alfie Dorrington and Jamie Donley. 

He said: “With the young guys like Jamie, he’s been doing really well with the U21s consistently. Jamie and Alfie Dorrington have really stood out and that’s why they’ve been training with us. 

“They’ve got to keep working and it doesn’t mean they’re ahead in the pecking order of people like Alfie Devine and Dane Scarlett who are out on loan. I’ve been really pleased with Jamie and Alfie though, they’ve been working well.”

Spurs Web Opinion

I am really excited about the young talent we have at the club right now, mainly because it feels like Postecoglou will actually give them an opportunity in the first team.

I would be very surprised if we don’t see the likes of Donley and Dorrington called up for some game time at some point this season.

The post Ange Postecoglou admits two Spurs academy starlets have ‘really stood out’ appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

With a number of new faces arriving at the club this summer, Ange Postecoglou needed to give his squad some balance by shipping players out.

There was, and still is, a great number of peripheral figures at Tottenham whose futures lie elsewhere, but who could not seal a permanent move away this summer. Therefore, a loan move serves the interest of all parties.

Likewise, a handful of young players have temporarily left the club for the season in an effort to gain valuable experience and stake their claim on a first-team spot at Spurs.

What’s going on with the Spurs loanees?

In his report for Football.London, Alasdair Gold shares what all the Spurs loanees have been getting up to, and what has been said about them.

First up is Tanguy Ndombele, who continues to struggle. The Frenchman is yet to start a game for Galatasaray and has been hit with some pretty heavy criticism by Sky Sports’ Batuhan Karadeniz, who claimed the midfielder needed a nutritionist (via Super Haber).

Conversely, Sergio Reguilón is seemingly enjoying life at Manchester United right now. The Spaniard played a part in the Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich in midweek, and also got 79 minutes under his belt against Burnley at the weekend. The 26-year-old was even named Manchester United’s “best player” for the game in Germany (Manchester Evening News).

Joe Rodon has been “earning plenty of plaudits” during his loan spell at Leeds United, but was sent off in a 0-0 draw against Hull in midweek.

Japhet Tanganga is currently out injured, but is expected to return to action for Augsburg next month.

Perhaps the highlight of the loan players this week, is Troy Parrott. The young Irishman got himself off the mark for Excelsior Rotterdam with a goal in the 88th minute.

Gold describes how Parrott “received the ball on the edge of the box and curled a beautiful shot into the top right corner, leaving the goalkeeper helplessly watching on.”

Finally, two of Tottenham’s most promising young players continue their development on loan with substitute appearances for Dane Scarlett and Alfie Devine.

The former played 12 minutes at the weekend and 19 minutes in midweek, but it is thought “those minutes will continue to rack up” as his Ipswich manager is a “big admirer.”

Devine, meanwhile, played just over an hour for Port Vale in midweek, but was relegated to the bench for the weekend’s action. However, it is the “early steps” of his career, and he has received “plenty of praise” while on loan with the League One side so far.

Spurs Web Opinion

It’s great to hear Troy Parrott has got his first goal, and hopefully, it’s the first of many. Dane Scarlett is one I’m watching closely, as this will be a real test for him in the Championship.

As for Tanguy Ndombele, it just keeps getting worse and worse, and he is most definitely a lost cause now.

The post Report: Tottenham loan player update – One red card, one goal, one nutritionist needed appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

In a summer of great upheaval for Spurs, seven new faces arrived through the door at the North London club. With so many new signings, there had to be some outgoings to balance the books and keep the squad from becoming bloated.

Some fans have been disappointed with the club’s inability to sell fringe players this summer, with Harry Winks and Davinson Sanchez the only two peripheral squad players who left the club permanently during the transfer window.

However, plenty of players did leave the club on loan this summer. Youngsters like Alfie Devine, Dane Scarlett, and Troy Parrott all secured moves to ensure they play more first-team football this year, while more experienced heads such as Joe Rodon and Japhet Tanganga moved on, too.

What have the Spurs loanees been up to recently?

In his regular piece for Football.London, Alasdair Gold had plenty to say about all those players and more.

Gold claims Joe Rodon is “earning plenty of plaudits” at Leeds United so far this season and was given special “praise for his role in keeping a clean sheet” at the weekend. His teammate, Djed Spence, is now out of action for eight weeks with a knee injury.

Meanwhile, over in Turkey, Tanguy Ndombele came off the bench for Galatasaray and played 15 minutes in a 4-2 win over Samsunspor.

Despite not doing anything of particular note in that appearance, it is said that Ndombele will now be “looking to play a part” in his new side’s opening Champions League game this week.

In the Premier League, Sergio Reguilon made his debut for Manchester United and played 85 minutes of the defeat to Brighton. The Spaniard will be hoping for a better result next time out.

As for Tanganga, he is yet to recover from a knee injury and has not featured for Augsburg so far this season. That injury will not be helped by a reported accident at the training ground where the defender fell off a bicycle.

A player who has made it onto the pitch, however, is Troy Parrot, who “got more game time under his belt,” this weekend, albeit a 19-minute substitute appearance in a 0-0 draw for Excelsior Rotterdam.

Alfie Devine is faring much better at League One side Port Vale. Devine was handed a start by his new side after his “heroics” in the previous game where he provided an assist and scored a penalty.

This time out, the youngster played 75 minutes in a 1-0 win for the high-fliers, and made a “crucial last-ditch tackle” early in the game.

And finally, Dane Scarlett “again had to watch on as an unused substitute” for Ipswich Town as they defeated fellow promoted side, Sheffield Wednesday at the Hillsborough stadium.

Gold claims Scarlett is “going to have to be patient” but reiterates that “big things” are expected when he the young striker does get his chance.

Spurs Web Opinion

It’s great to see both Joe Rodon and Alfie Devine performing well on loan. While the former may never return to Spurs, Devine has a bright future at the club and this spell of regular football will help his development hugely. Hopefully, Dane Scarlett can get an opportunity soon and show what he can do, too.

The post Report: Injured Spurs defender falls off a bicycle in training ground accident appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

There is plenty of excitement around Scarlett, not only at Tottenham but also in the England youth ranks, with the striker being a regular part of the Under-20 and Under-19 squads over the past couple of seasons.

The 19-year-old was part of the side that won the Under-19 European Championship last year before representing the Under-20s at the World Cup during the summer.

Scarlett spent last season on loan at Portsmouth but after a bright start to his spell at Fratton Park, he faded away a bit in the second half of the campaign.

Dane Scarlett receives first England U21 call-up

The striker will now get a crack at the Championship this term, having completed a deadline-day move to Ipswich Town.

Soon after completing his switch to Portman Road, Scarlett learned that he would link up with the Young Lions squad as they begin their European Championship qualification campaign.

England’s Under-21s, who now have a new head coach in Lee Carsley, will travel to Luxembourg on Monday, 11 September, for their group stage opener.

Spurs Web Opinion

It is certainly an achievement for someone who turned 19 just a little while ago to be called up to the England Under-21s set-up, especially given the abundance of talent that the Young Lions could potentially call upon. Scarlett is unlikely to start against Luxembourg but he will be hoping to get an opportunity as a substitute.

The post Highly-rated Spurs starlet receives his first-ever England U21 call-up appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Scarlett spent last season on loan at Portsmouth and will now spend the 2023/24 season in the Championship with Ipswich Town.

To many people’s surprise, it was the 19-year-old who Postecoglou turned to first at half-time against Fulham after this side produced a poor first-half display in the Carabao Cup tie at Craven Cottage.

The striker delivered a tireless display in the second half, first operating as a number ten after replacing Giovani Lo Celso at the interval before shifting to the number nine role once Richarlison came off on 72 minutes.

The Tottenham head coach stated that he felt the teenager deserved his chance, given how well he has been playing in training.

Postecoglou seems impressed by Dane Scarlett

When asked about Scarlett’s display against Fulham, before the loan to Ipswich was announced, Postcoglou told Football.London: “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.”

Spurs Web Opinion

Having a season playing every week in the Championship will do Scarlett the world of good. If he can finish the season with ten goals or so, Postecoglou may just keep him around next season.

The post ‘Definitely got a future at our club’ – Postecoglou is a fan of Dane Scarlett appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Scarlett spent last season on loan at Portsmouth and even though he did have a bright start to his spell at Fratton Park, things did not go entirely according to plan for him or for Pompey, who stumbled to a disappointing eighth-place finish in League One.

It emerged on Wednesday that the Tottenham academy graduate was expected to head to the Championship this season, with The Athletic reporting that the teenager had signed a one-year contract extension at Spurs before agreeing to move to Portmond Road Stadium on loan.

Tottenham have now officially confirmed that the 19-year-old will be heading to the East Anglian club, who currently sit in sixth place in the Championship table, having accumulated nine points from their first four matches of the season.

Ipswich won promotion from League One last season and are managed by Kieran McKenna, who previously worked at Tottenham as the head coach of the Under-18s.

Ipswich are excited to have Dane Scarlett on board

Reacting to the loan move, McKenna said (Ipswich Official): “Dane is a very exciting young forward who the staff and I have known about for a long time.

“He is an explosive finisher with both feet and someone who has good movement in the final third. He is also someone who works very well for the team out of possession.

“Dane is ready for his second loan spell having gained a year’s worth of experience with Portsmouth last season, and we feel that puts him in a good position to step up to this level and be an important member of the squad. We’re excited to have him here.”

Dane Scarlett himself added: “I’m really excited to get started here.

“I found out I was officially moving yesterday but the move has been in the works for a few weeks.

“I remember playing against Ipswich last season and it was a good game. I liked the way the team played so I’m really looking forward to being part of that.”

Spurs Web Opinion

This is a very good move for Scarlett as he will be playing for a coach who knows well of his qualities. Ipswich also play front-foot, high-pressing, possession-based football, which would suit the Tottenham man quite well.

Scarlett, who spent last season on loan at League One side Portsmouth, came on as a half-time substitute in the Carabao Cup second-round clash against Fulham on Tuesday.

Dane Scarlett heading to Ipswich Town on loan

It now turns out that the Spurs academy graduate will be spending the 2023-24 season in the Championship, with The Athletic revealing that he is set to move to Portman Road Stadium on a season-long loan.

The report adds that the teenager, who is contracted to Tottenham until 2026, also agreed a one-year extension to his deal before making the move to Ipswich.

The same information regarding a contract extension was also confirmed by PA Sport journalist George Sessions, who added that Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna, who previously coached Tottenham’s Under-18s, is a big fan of Scarlett.

Spurs Web Opinion

This is a very good move for Scarlett as he will get to work with a coach who knows him well. With Tottenham not being in Europe and now eliminated from the Carabao Cup, the 19-year-old was not going to get any game time if he had stayed at Spurs.

The post Report: Spurs player has signed a new one-year contract extension with the club appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Developing promising strikers seems to be a strong point for the Tottenham academy, with Troy Parrott so far treading a similar path to club legend Harry Kane.

Having made just four first-team appearances for the Lilywhites (Transfermarkt), Parrott has had to try and make a name for himself through loan spells in lower divisions.

(Photo by Tottenham Hotspur FC/Tottenham Hotspur FC via Getty Images)

A successful stint with MK Dons in the 2021/22 campaign saw the Irishman bag ten goals in 47 appearances for the League One side (Transfermarkt).

It was hoped that Parrott could build on that success last season with a loan move to Championship side Preston North End. Injury issues limited the young attacker’s opportunities, but he still managed four goals in 34 games last year (Transfermarkt).

With Kane now playing in Germany, and a new manager at Tottenham, Parrott had spoken of his desire to get a chance in the senior squad under Ange Postecoglou (Irish Examiner).

However, the latest report on the 21-year-old claims he is likely to head out to the Netherlands in the near future (TEAMtalk).

Postecoglou hasn’t made up his mind about Parrott

Discussing the future of Troy Parrott on the Last Word on Spurs podcast, Darren Lewis suggested the forward is a good player, but that Postecoglou hasn’t worked out what to do with him yet.

He said: “Let’s not kid ourselves, you still have Troy Parrott and you still have Dane Scarlett. They look capable, but the suggestion is that it’s likely Troy will go out on loan again, and I don’t know if Dane has been given a squad number yet.

“The uncertainty around them suggests to me that maybe Ange isn’t certain about them, even though, to me, Troy looks like a good player.”

Spurs Web Opinion

I feel like this season is a big one for Parrott, wherever he ends up. He is still young enough to get his big break, but that’s unlikely to come at Spurs this year, so he needs a successful loan spell if he is to push on and be a first-team player for the club next season.

Dane Scarlett is one of the most talented and exciting young players to come through the Spurs academy in recent years. There are high hopes that the 19-year-old could have a similar career trajectory to that of Harry Kane eventually.

Having brushed shoulders with the Tottenham first team over the last two years, it may be rather surprising to know that Scarlett has actually only made ten appearances for the Spurs senior squad so far (Transfermarkt).

The youngster played an important part in the England under-19 squad which won the 2022 European Championships last year. Indeed, Scarlett has arguably had more meaningful game time and success at international level than he has at club level at this stage.

After showing glimpses of what he can do on loan with Portsmouth last season, Scarlett has returned to North London this summer to try and force his way into Ange Postecoglou‘s plans.

There have been conflicting reports on whether Scarlett will be a part of the first-team squad this season, with the Evening Standard suggesting he will be utilised by Postecoglou. However, Postecoglou himself said a decision has not yet been made on that matter (Football.London).

Ferdinand wants to see more of Dane Scarlett

Speaking on the Vibe with Five YouTube channel, Rio Ferdinand has been wondering why we haven’t seen Dane Scarlett getting more game time for Spurs yet.

He said: “I have been hearing about him for time and he hasn’t come through yet. I have been hearing his name for a long time.”

When asked ‘Is he the new Kane’, Ferdinand added: “No, I don’t know if he’s the new Kane.”

Spurs Web Opinion

We all want to see what Dane Scarlett can do, but it’s worth remembering he is only 19-years-old, and he wasn’t even at the club last season. We are only two games into the season, and I’m sure that if he doesn’t move out on loan, we will see Scarlett featuring for the first team this year

The post Rio Ferdinand seems to question why Spurs youngster hasn’t broken through yet appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Having come through the Spurs academy, many hope that Dane Scarlett can be the next big talent to represent the football club and follow in Harry Kane‘s footsteps.

The promising striker has been in and out of the Tottenham first team over the last couple of years but has been used sparingly so far. Scarlett has made ten appearances for the club and registered one assist, but is yet to get a goal for the senior side (Transfermarkt).

Scarlett gained valuable experience on loan at League One side Portsmouth last year, making 40 appearances, and contributing six goals and two assists (Transfermarkt). However, he found opportunities more limited when former manager Danny Cowley was replaced by John Mousinho.

Now back in North London and with Ange Postecoglou to impress, Scarlett has featured during pre-season and even netted against Shakhtar Donetsk earlier this month.

Dane Scarlett decision coming soon at Spurs

It was recently suggested that Scarlett would now remain at Spurs this season (Evening Standard). However, in his latest press conference (via Football.London), Postecoglou suggested that decision has not yet been made.

He said: “We’ll see. He’s been really good. I’ve been really impressed with him since we’ve come in. He had a bit of an injury which set him back a little bit in pre-season but we’re keeping him with us at the moment.

“I’ll probably make the decision on Dane in the next couple of weeks. It’s always a fine balancing act of whether they stay with us in the training environment, depending on the type of game time we think they’ll get, as opposed to going out and getting some meaningful game time at his age.

“We’ll make that decision but I’m really happy with the way he’s developed and the way he’s training and we’ll make that decision over the next week or so.”

If Dane Scarlett could play ten or so games for us this season, you’d have to think it would be worth keeping him at this club. However, the benefit of him playing a full season in the Championship could be huge, so it will be interesting to see what Postecoglou ends up doing.

The post ‘Balancing act’ – Postecoglou says he will make decision on Spurs youngster soon appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

A product of the Tottenham academy, Dane Scarlett is one of the brightest young talents at the club right now and many expect the striker to be a success at the top level in his career.

Scarlett has been around the Spurs first team for a couple of years now, and has made ten appearances for the senior side. He hasn’t scored in a competitive game for the Lilywhites yet, but does have an assist to his name (Transfermarkt).

The talented forward spent the 2022/23 campaign on loan with Portsmouth in League One, racking up 40 appearances, with six goals and two assists (Transfermarkt).

Despite a promising start to his time with Pompey, a change of manager midway through the season hampered Scarlett’s progress somewhat.

Is Dane Scarlett ready for the first team?

Scarlett recovered from injury during pre-season and managed to score a goal in the 5-1 win over Shakhtar Donetsk earlier this month. Now, it seems the player may well find himself in Ange Postecoglou‘s plans for the new season.

That’s according to a report from the Evening Standard, which suggests Scarlett is “set to remain as part” of the Australian manager’s squad as things stand.

It is thought Postecoglou wants to keep the 19-year-old around until new signing Alejo Veliz “adjusts” to life in London.

Apparently, fellow Spurs youngster, Alfie Devine, will leave the club this summer for a loan spell elsewhere.

It would be good to see Dane Scarlett get more opportunities in the first team and it would do his development a world of good to be involved more at that level.

The key is to make sure that he gets enough game time with us to ensure staying at the club is the best option for his progress.

Scott is widely thought of as one of the best young talents in the EFL and most people would have expected the youngster to have been snapped up swiftly when the transfer window opened this summer.

However, with just weeks to go until the window slams shut, the midfielder appears no closer to leaving Ashton Gate Stadium.

The 19-year-old continues to be linked with a move to Tottenham, with journalist Ben Jacobs stating on Chris Cowlin’s YouTube channel a couple of weeks ago that the North London club are still keeping a close eye on the youngster’s situation.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth have reportedly had a £15m offer turned down for Scott (Sami Mokbel) while Wolves‘ £20m bid has also been sent back by Bristol City, who are allegedly holding out for £25m for the youngster (The Telegraph).

Tottenham may have an advantage over these clubs in the race for the youngster, who has admitted to being a boyhood Spurs fan (Guardian).

Alex Scott and Spurs’ Dane Scarlett are friendly

Scott has played alongside Scarlett for England Under-20s and when the striker took to Instagram after his goal against Shakhtar Donetsk, the midfielder commented: ‘Beautiful to see’.

Seeing as no Premier League side have been willing to meet Bristol’s rumoured £25m valuation of Scott so far, perhaps the Championship club might be prepared to relax their demands a bit. 

I would not be surprised if Tottenham put in a cheeky £20m offer for the player in the final week or two of the transfer window.

Devine was included in the travelling squad for Tottenham’s Asia-Pacific pre-season tour, and played the second half against West Ham United on the right wing.

Scarlett, meanwhile, did not feature for the Lilywhites under Ange Postecoglou in pre-season this year as he was struggling with an injury.

Scarlett and Devine may both go out on loan

It is reportedly felt that a loan move would be the best next step in the development of both players, as Spurs look for teams to take Devine and Scarlett for the full 2023/24 campaign.

Both youngsters are now 19 and are seen as the jewels in the current crop of academy starlets, but may struggle to earn minutes under Postecoglou this season.

Spurs are not playing in Europe, meaning domestic minutes will have to be shared across the entire squad, which is likely why the Lilywhites are attempting to find loan moves for Devine and Scarlett.

Spurs Web Opinion:

This is very sensible from Spurs, and they haven’t done it enough in recent years. Scarlett and Devine are both at the point where they should be playing every single week.

Spurs should really send them to two top League One teams who play attacking football and will be pushing for promotion this year, rather than risking them ending up on the bench in the Championship.

Devine featured in the second half of Tottenham’s pre-season friendly against West Ham United last week, putting in an accomplished display despite playing out of position on the right flank.

The Athletic reported a couple of days ago that Spurs plan on loaning out the 18-year-old this summer so that he can get competitive game time under his belt this season.

Postecoglou impressed by Devine and Scarlett

Scarlett has not featured in either of the two friendlies so far due to an injury (Charlie Eccleshare), but the teenage striker has seemingly caught Postecoglou’s eye, with the Australian naming him and Devine as youngsters who have done well so far.

When asked about young players from the academy potentially coming into the first team, the Tottenham head coach told Football.London: “It’s an important part of this football club and the infrastructure and it’s something that we’re constantly monitoring to make sure the club is in the best place possible to find and develop the best talent.

“We’ve got Alfie Devine with us and Dane Scarlett, who are two young guys who have done really well so far and have been with the first team.”

Spurs Web Opinion

Scarlet and Devine need to be playing regular football this season, which is why loaning them out to an EFL club is a no-brainer for Spurs.

It is unlikely that either of them is going to make more than a handful of senior appearances if they stayed at the club.

The French international missed the 3-2 defeat against West Ham United after sustaining an ankle injury during a training session in the build up to the match in Perth and was also not part of Postecoglou‘s match day squad for the planned Leicester City fixture in Thailand, which ended up being postponed following heavy rainfall.

Postecoglou was asked for an update on the availability of his squad at today’s press conference and admitted that young striker Dane Scarlett is expected to once again sit out the match due to his own injury issues.

The Australian revealed that he was planning to give more or less his whole squad some minutes against their Singapore opponents, however, the Leicester postponement means that he will instead revert to two different starting XI’s in each half.

Ndombele is fit and available to face Lion City Sailors

He told Football.London: “Everyone’s good – Dane Scarlett is the one who has been struggling with a bit of injury. But he sort of trained this morning, he probably won’t be available tomorrow. Tanguy was the other one who’s been a slow burner but now he’s back training so he’s available as well. So yeah in terms of health wise, I think everyone’s fit.

“Again, I think tomorrow I won’t use everyone. With us missing a game, this was the game where I was going to give game time to just about everyone in the squad but with us missing a game I’ll probably still focus on the guys who need a game. So I’ll probably do two two elevens again, which means some will miss out but they’ll do some work and then we’ve got a full week of training after that.”

SpursWeb Opinion

I would not hold out too much hope for those looking to see Ndombele in action tomorrow if today’s opening training session was anything to go by.   The midfielder was not part of the 11 vs 11 match session and instead trained separately with the likes of Djed Spence and Harvey White in a different area of the pitch.

Lots of returning faces for Spurs against Leicester

Charlie Eccleshare reported at the time that Tanguy Ndombele had missed out on the matchday squad due to a knock sustained in training, which was a shame as many Spurs fans were excited to see him.

It was also said that Heung-min Son, Eric Dier, Joe Rodon, and Djed Spence were not involved because they joined the pre-season camp later than the others (Alasdair Gold).

However, it appears all five players will be back in contention for the match against Leicester tomorrow, with Eccleshare reporting that only Scarlett is unavailable.

Scarlett the only Spurs player not available for tomorrow.

Spurs Web Opinion:

Seeing Son line up in a Postecoglou formation will be interesting, and I think Ndombele should add a little more balance to the midfield.

You would assume that Bentancur is the first-choice deep-lying playmaker when fit, and Ndombele is the closest like-for-like player in that regard.
