Sunderland are showing considerable interest in signing Tottenham starlet Dane Scarlett.
That is according to the latest report by Sports Illustrated, which states that the Championship club is evaluating the possibility of bringing in the England U20 international on loan this summer.
The 19-year-old has garnered significant attention from multiple clubs, thanks to his impressive performances at the youth level and his early involvement with Tottenham’s senior team.
Sunderland see Scarlett as a valuable addition to their squad as they seek to enhance their attacking options for the current season.
Scarlett’s rise through the Spurs ranks has been notable. He first made his mark in the club’s academy, where his standout performances quickly drew attention.
During the 2020-21 season, after recovering from a knee injury, Scarlett made a strong comeback, scoring 17 goals and contributing four assists in 16 U18 Premier League matches and ending the season with 25 goals and 5 assists in 27 games across all competitions.
Scarlett signed his first professional contract with Spurs in 2021 and continued his development with a loan spell at Portsmouth in League One.
He later moved on loan to Ipswich Town last season but was recalled early due to a lack of playing time.
Now, with Sunderland keen on securing Scarlett on loan, the young striker may have another opportunity to demonstrate his abilities and gain crucial first-team experience in the Championship. Tottenham will likely assess this opportunity carefully, with a focus on ensuring Scarlett’s continued growth and progress.
