AdminLeicester City have expressed an interest in signing Tottenham Hotspur striker Dane Scarlett as Russell Martin continues to assess potential additions ahead of the new season.
The 21-year-old forward has emerged as one of several attacking options being considered by the Foxes during the summer transfer window.
Scarlett has spent recent seasons gaining valuable experience away from Tottenham, and Leicester are understood to be monitoring his situation as they look to strengthen their attacking department.
However, the move may not be straightforward. Scarlett is believed to favour joining a Championship club, where he feels he would have the best opportunity to secure regular first-team football and continue his development after previous loan spells.
Despite that preference, Leicester remain interested after the player was suggested by manager Russell Martin.
The Foxes boss is keen to reshape his squad this summer and sees the young striker as a player with the potential to fit his style of football.
Scarlett has long been regarded as one of Tottenham’s brightest academy products, but opportunities at senior level have been limited.
With competition for places remaining fierce in North London, another move away from the club could provide the platform he needs to establish himself.
Whether Leicester can convince Scarlett to reconsider his preferred destination remains to be seen, but their interest highlights Martin’s determination to add young, promising talent to his squad before the new campaign begins.
