Tottenham Hotspur teenager Dane Scarlett is set to make his first senior start for the club.

The 18-year-old will line-up against Pacos de Ferreira in Thursday's Conference League play-off first-leg tie, manager Nuno has confirmed.

"We have big, big expectations regarding Dane because he did so well in pre-season. You recall the game against Leyton Orient in which he scored and he was involved in many of the games in pre-season," Nuno said.

"He's a young talent that we want to develop and we want to make him better and want to make him grow because there's a lot of potential there.

"I think it should be our idea in the club to use opportunities for young players to play. When we have talent we must believe in them and go for it."
