Tottenham Hotspur fans have been reacting to comments made by head coach Jose Mourinho about young prospect Dane Scarlett.
The 16-year-old made just his second appearance in European competition last night for Spurs, coming on in the last ten minutes of their victory over Austrian side Wolfsberger. The youngster clearly has something of a future ahead of him, even getting attention from the national media following his brief cameos in the first-team.
On his future, speaking to BT Sport after the game (via @HotspurRelated), Mourinho talked about just how exciting his future could be, even going on to compare him with another young English prospect that he worked with at a previous job “He has fantastic talent. Next season he will be a first-team player. I am playing him from the side but he is a nine a bit like I did with Marcus Rashford.”
High praise indeed, and they were exactly what these Spurs fans on social media wanted to hear, as they looked forward to how much he’ll be able to nurture him moving forward:
“This is most pleasing”
Do you think Dane Scarlett should be involved more in the Spurs first team this season?
Yes
No
Although given how close Mourinho is to losing his job right now, whether or not he’ll be around next year to oversee him is a different matter.
