A slippery youngster (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elver

'a slippery youngster' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for elver that I've seen before include "Young slippery fish" , "Young swimmer" , "slippery little thing" , "Slippery youngster" , "Young, migrating eel" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
