Mourinho Compares Tottenham Whizkid to Marcus Rashford
Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho compares 16 year old ‘diamond’ Dane Scarlett to Marcus Rashford and insists he will be a ‘first team squad player’ next season after teenager provided an assist during late Europa League Match.
Jose Mourinho insists his ‘diamond’ of a youngster Dane Scarlett will be a ‘first-team squad player’ next season.
The 16-year-old came off the bench during Tottenham’s 4-0 victory over Wolfsberger in the Europa League.
He dispossessed defender Gustav Henriksson and laid the ball on a plate to Carlos Vinicius who scored his second and Tottenham’s last goal of their comfortable 8-1 aggregate victory.
‘He is going to be a fantastic player and I hope everything around him goes well. He is a striker, a number nine, I have been playing him from the sides similar to Marcus Rashford and is very clever.’
It was a busy nine-minute outing for the teenager who also appeared in the Europa League this season against Ludogorets, as well as a late substitute during a 2-0 victory over West Brom earlier this month.
