League One side Portsmouth have signed striker Dane Scarlett from Tottenham Hotspur on a season-long loan.
The 18-year-old made his first start for Spurs in the Europa Conference League last season, making nine first-team appearances in all.
“I see a real opportunity for me at Pompey,” Scarlett told the club website.
“We’ll be looking to win as many games as possible and personally, I’m looking to kick on and get some more minutes.”
Scarlett came through Tottenham’s youth ranks before signing his first professional contract with the club in 2021.
The teenager says being around first-team football in training has been invaluable.
“Getting to see – and compete against – some of the best players in the world every day in training has helped me.”
“You can learn so much from Harry Kane just by watching him and everything he does on the pitch is perfect.”
Scarlett played for England in this summer’s European Under-19 Championship, scoring twice in the group stage and starting in the final as they beat Isreal.
In all he has netted 12 goals in 14 appearances for England Under-19s.
