Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has a lot of faith in youngster Dane Scarlett.

Aged 16 years and 320 days, Scarlett became Tottenham's youngest ever Premier League player when he was substituted on during stoppage time of Sunday's 2-0 win over West Bromwich Albion.

Mourinho told BBC Radio 5Live: "He did not touch the ball I do not think.

"But for me the feeling of the kid also coming on means a lot for the academy, means [a lot] for the kid because he is 16, and means [a lot] to me because I wanted to be the one to put him on in a Premier League match.

"Because I know that he will be somebody in a few years."
