Tottenham striker Dane Scarlett will see plenty of action next season, says manager Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho has likened the teen to Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford.

“He is a diamond, a kid with incredible potential," Mourinho said. “He has worked many times with the first team and that gives him a different personality. He is still 16, 17 soon [in March] and I believe next season he will be a first-team squad player because he has a lot of talent.

“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 he is very clever.

“There is not one player here that I say I am not happy with, the performances were good, are they all going to start on Sunday [against Burnley]? No, but we are playing Thursday, Sunday, Thursday."
