Ipswich Town secure the season-long services of Tottenham Hotspur forward Dane Scarlett

Ipswich Town have completed the signing of Tottenham Hotspur forward Dane Scarlett on a season-long loan deal.

The 19-year-old, who has made 10 senior appearances for his Premier League employers in all competitions, arrives at Portman Road as a highly thought of youngster.

Scarlett has represented England from Under-15 to Under-20 level, with the highlight of his youth international career being a part of the Young Lions squad that won the 2022 European Under-19 Championships last summer.

“I’m really excited to get started here,” Scarlett, who scored against Ipswich last season while on loan at Portsmouth, told TownTV.

“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.“

Meanwhile, Town boss Kieran McKenna added: “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.”

Scarlett, who will wear the number 24 shirt with the Tractor Boys, has also today signed a new four-year deal with Spurs.
