Teenage sensation returns to Tottenham for first-team training right after his loan

At present, Dane Scarlett is actively participating in Tottenham Hotspur’s pre-season training under the supervision of Ange Postecoglou.

A report from Football London indicates that Scarlett is training with the team’s new manager, getting ready for the new season.

Scarlett’s next steps at Tottenham seem opaque. Last season, the 19-year-old was sent to Portsmouth in League One on a loan where he found it hard to net goals at Fratton Park. Consequently, it’s unclear whether or not he would be included in the Spurs squad in the next season.

Scarlett’s preparations with Tottenham’s main squad

Postecoglou, nonetheless, could offer Scarlett a new opportunity this summer, which might mean he won’t be loaned out again.

Football London noted Scarlett among the players being coached by Postecoglou at the start of pre-season, hinting that he may have a chance to prove his worth.

However, carving a successful path as a striker at Tottenham is a serious challenge due to the enormous presence of Harry Kane, who had an outstanding season last year. Tottenham’s desire to keep hold of him will likely lessen the chances for younger players to rise to the first team. In addition, finding a fitting striker to act as a backup is equally difficult for the club.

If Scarlett can stand out during pre-season training, it might give Postecoglou a reason to ponder. Scarlett is known to be highly promising, as even Jose Mourinho previously lauded his “incredible” skills. Postecoglou’s arrival might just be a turning point for Scarlett.
