Oxford United have boosted their attacking options with the arrival of Dane Scarlett.

The highly-rated 20-year-old joins the U’s on a season-long loan from Tottenham.

The young striker, who previously held the record as Spurs’ youngest-ever player, spent the first half of last season on loan at Ipswich.

Speaking as he signed, he said: “I’m over the moon to be here and I’m ready to get started.

“The team done really well last season, and I see an opportunity here for myself.

“Oxford for me was the best option to come and prove myself and show what I can do.

“I’m a team player that will look to bring goals and hopefully we can deliver this season.”

Head coach, Des Buckingham, said: “Dane is such an exciting young centre-forward and it’s fantastic to bring him into the Club.

“I always speak about making sure we sign the right profile of player, both in terms of quality on the pitch and attitude off it, and in Dane, we have found that.

“Dane has been involved with Tottenham throughout their pre-season training and we expect that he can come straight into the group and begin making a difference straight away.

“Not only does he bring an eye for goal, but his pace and intelligence will be important to us both in the way we attack and in the way we press out of possession.”
