Jose Mourinho tips Tottenham teenager Dane Scarlett, 17, to be 'phenomenal' for England in the future... but claims the striker's chances of reaching Gareth Southgate's squad for the Qatar 2022 World Cup are slim

Jose Mourinho has backed Tottenham teenager Dane Scarlett to be 'phenomenal' for England in the future as he predicts which future Three Lions stars will break through next.

Mourinho believes Scarlett's chances of featuring for England at Qatar 2022 may come too early but claims Tottenham have a top young striker at the club.
