Tottenham 19-year-old player labelled 27-minute disaster on international duty
Fans of Tottenham Hotspur might be miffed to learn that Dane Scarlett, 19, struggled on his England under-21 debut last night.
Scarlett replaced Liam Delap of Manchester City in the second half but made little of an impact.
And according to Sofascore, Scarlett failed to complete a single pass and lost control of the ball four times.
Scarlett had over 30 minutes to shine against Luxembourg, even if no one likes to be too harsh on a substitution.
Scarlett, who is on loan from Spurs to Ipswich Town this year, will undoubtedly be hoping for a successful campaign.
The forward for England’s under-21 team has not yet made an appearance for Ipswich, but he did sit on the bench during a victory over Cardiff City at home.
Since Scarlett’s loan was approved extremely late in the transfer window, the striker will undoubtedly be eager to begin following this break for international play.
Fans didn’t notice Scarlett’s ability for England last night, despite Ange Postecoglou’s praise for her since she joined Tottenham.
Although Lee Carsley’s team won 3-0, there won’t be much attention paid to the drawbacks.
Tottenham’s Scarlett struggled with England last night
Due to the absence of a match for England’s under-21 team over the break, Scarlett must now demonstrate his club form.
For the 19-year-old who played for Portsmouth in League One last season, a loan to Ipswich is a significant step up.
The striker will undoubtedly continue to progress and must have his sights set on significant playing time with Ipswich.
Scarlett undoubtedly aspires to follow Harry Kane’s Tottenham career, who experienced several loans before becoming an England icon.
Even if yesterday night may not have gone as expected, Scarlett still has lots of opportunities to make a good impression.
And every striker associated with Tottenham at the moment will be vying for the chance to emerge as the team’s future star.
