Tottenham Hotspur fans are excited about Dane Scarlett, but they have another top young striker coming through in Jamie Donley.

Tottenham have had a decent flow of talented young strikers coming through their youth ranks.

Harry Kane is of course the main success story, becoming a Tottenham legend off the back of his goalscoring exploits.

Troy Parrott is touted for a bright future and is faring well on loan at Milton Keynes Dons in League One.

Scarlett is around the Tottenham first team and looks to be a star of the future, and Donley is now making strides too.

At the age of just 16, Donley is already impressing at Tottenham.

With five goals in five Under-18 Premier League games this season, Donley is on fire. He even has two assists to his name too.

Donley’s international dilemma sums up talent Tottenham hold

The Guardian note that Donley is now in two minds of his international future.

Born in Northern Ireland, Donley has turned out for their Under-19’s, scoring twice in two games.

Donley also qualifies for England though, and is currently in their Under-17’s during this international break.

Both countries are fighting for Donley’s allegiance, though he doesn’t have to fully commit for a while yet.

It looks like Tottenham have another outstanding striker prospect in their ranks, and Donley could end up being just as valuable as Scarlett moving forward.
