Report: Dane Scarlett’s transfer status has changed, and Postecoglou may use him.
According to a new report on the outgoings
at Tottenham Hotspur this summer, it is
suggested Ange Postecoglou is keen to keep
hold of youngster Dane Scarlett rather than
sending him on loan this season.
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.
