Club career

Scarlett was part of the Tottenham Under-18s team in the 2019–20 season, however, the season ended prematurely for him after a knee injury.[3] He started playing with the first team in the pre-season friendly matches in August 2020, but returned to the Under-18s at the start of the 2020–21 season.[4][5] He scored ten goals and made three assists in eight games;[3] four goals, three of them headers, were scored in the Under-18s game on 21 November 2020 against Southampton that ended in a 7–0 win.[6][7] His performance led to an appearance on the bench in the Europa League game against Ludogorets Razgrad on 26 November,[8] and he made his debut for Tottenham coming on as a substitute for Lucas Moura in this game.[9] At the age of 16 year and 247 days, he became the youngest player to have appeared in a senior first team competitive game for Tottenham, beating the previous record held by John Bostock.[10][11] The record lasted until 10 January 2021 when Alfie Devine made his debut at the age of 16 years 163 days.[12] On 12 January 2021, he scored five goals for the U18 team in the 6–2 win against Newport County in the FA Youth Cup.[13]. Scarlett made his Premier League debut, coming off the bench during stoppage time against West Bromwich Albion, on 7 February 2021. Tottenham manager José Mourinho said, "I wanted to be the one to put him on in a Premier League match. Because I know that he will be somebody in a few years." [14]
