Girl, not quite ten, chasing approval from German ... (6)
I believe the answer is:
janine
'girl' is the definition.
'not quite ten chasing approval from german' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'approval' could be 'an' (AN is an example) and 'an' is located in the answer.
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
