Town are working on the loan signing of Tottenham Hotspur striker Dane Scarlett.
A number of Spurs sources are reporting that Scarlett will join the Blues having signed extended terms at White Hart Lane and we understand that to be the case. The deal could be completed as soon as today.
TWTD revealed in March that Scarlett was among the players Town had been keen on in the January window and the move comes as little surprise.
Scarlett, 19, came through the academy ranks at White Hart Lane where Blues boss Kieran McKenna was U18s coach prior to his spell at Manchester United.
The England U15, U16, U19 and U20 international spent last season on loan at Portsmouth, scoring six goals in 24 starts and 16 sub appearances.
For his parent club, the 5ft 11in tall frontman has made three senior starts - all in the Europa Conference League - and seven sub appearances, two in the Premier League without finding the net.
In October last year, following the Blues’ 3-2 victory over Pompey, Blues boss McKenna revealed how highly he rates Scarlett.
"One of the only players they have who doesn’t have Championship experience is one of the best young strikers in world football, in my opinion, in Dane Scarlett,” McKenna said.
Although not on target in that game, Scarlett scored at Portman Road in Portsmouth's 2-0 victory over the Blues in the Papa Johns Trophy in November.
Scarlett will become Town's sixth signing of the summer with the transfer window closing at 11pm on Friday evening.
