Tottenham are currently in talks with Ipswich Town about recalling Dane Scarlett in January, according to Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna.
The decision was made to loan the teenager to Ipswich in order for him to get game time, but that has not worked out for the 19-year-old, who has come on as a substitute in all 12 of his Championship appearances this season.
The Tractor Boys have far exceeded expectations this season, currently sitting second in the table, which has made it difficult for the England Under-21 international to get a look-in.
“Tottenham have injury issues at the moment and they have their main forward [Son Heung-min] going to the Asian Cup at the start of January as well. “So there have been discussions over the last few days, and there’s a good chance he’ll be recalled from the beginning of January.”
Scarlett would have learned a lot from his time at Portman Road Stadium, according to McKenna.
“He’s a really talented player, and we enjoyed having him here,” the 37-year-old added. He arrived late in the window after a disrupted pre-season with no minutes played, so he was always going to be playing catch-up.
“Because the players who have been playing have done so well, he hasn’t gotten as many starts as he would have liked.” He has, however, made 12 appearances at the very top of the Championship.
“He’s made some valuable contributions for us.” I believe he has gained a lot from the environment and his time at the club, and I believe he will return a stronger player, and we hope to see good things from him in the future.”
Spurs Online Opinion
I doubt Tottenham‘s decision to recall Scarlett was influenced by Son’s participation in the Asian Cup. I believe it is due to the youngster’s lack of playing time, and I fully expect Spurs to loan the 19-year-old to a side further down the Championship table for the remainder of the season.
