Dane Scarlett, a Tottenham Hotspur loan player, received praise from Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna for his performance at Southampton under pressure and in a difficult atmosphere.
This summer, the youthful Spurs forward signed a season-long loan with the Championship team.
In the EFL Cup, he made his Ipswich debut against Fulham. On Tuesday, he replaced George Hirst as a 71st-minute replacement against Saints
.
In the final 27 minutes of the valiant Tractor Boys victory, McKenna insisted that Scarlett performed an excellent job against the Saints defense in a pressure scenario and challenging setting.
Of course, Dane is also going to come on, McKenna informed the Ipswich media.
“You know for 25, 30, or however many minutes it was with the additional time under that pressure in that setting, against those center-backs.
You realize that’s fantastic for him and helps him fit in with the group, right?
Scarlett’s playing time will be closely monitored by Tottenham as they hope he receives regular playing time to continue growing.
