Premier League club interested in signing Dane Scarlett from Spurs

Southampton are exploring the possibility of signing Dane Scarlett as part of a potential deal with Spurs for Tyler Dibling.

Dane Scarlett’s impressive week and recent return to Spurs

It has been an eventful week for Tottenham Hotspur forward Dane Scarlett, who marked his return to the club in January with a crucial goal in Tottenham’s recent Europa League clash against IF Elfsborg.

The young forward was the first of three Tottenham academy graduates to get on the scoresheet that night, as Damola Ajayi and Mikey Moore also found the back of the net in a 3-0 victory for Ange Postecoglou’s side.

Scarlett then played 15 minutes off the bench for Spurs in the 2-0 win over Brentford in the Premier League just days later.

Scarlett’s return to north London followed a loan spell at Oxford United, where he made 20 Championship appearances and registered four goals.

Southampton exploring Dane Scarlett deal in talks over Tyler Dibling

Following the game against IF Elfsborg, GIVEMESPORT are now reporting that Southampton have enquired about the possibility of signing Dane Scarlett as part of ongoing discussions regarding Tyler Dibling’s potential transfer to north London.

The Saints are said to be considering their options, as Tottenham remain one of several clubs monitoring Dibling despite their clear stance that they will not entertain offers below their £55 million valuation.

While Southampton are reluctant to lose Dibling, they appear willing to explore ways to soften the impact of his departure, with Scarlett emerging as a potential target.

According to GiveMeSport, Southampton’s interest in Scarlett has intensified following his goal in Tottenham’s midweek European fixture.

The report also states that the club’s hierarchy are keen to assess whether Postecoglou would sanction a mid-season departure for the forward, as Southampton look to reinforce their frontline as they push to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

The potential impact on their attacking options

Tottenham’s interest in Tyler Dibling has been well-documented throughout the January transfer window.

Spursweb recently reported that the club are exploring the possibility of signing the teenager on a pre-agreement ahead of a summer move.

While it remains unclear whether Dane Scarlett will be included as part of a deal, it would not be surprising if Tottenham considered such an approach to facilitate negotiations.

However, if Scarlett were to leave, Tottenham would find themselves short of attacking depth unless further reinforcements were secured. Perhaps, one to look at in the summer.
