Dane Scarlett recently posted a photo on Instagram of himself training for Spurs, and teammate Alfie Devine commented on the forward’s physique.

Scarlett is just 17 years old and had been featuring in the Europa Conference League this campaign for Spurs.

The teenager has yet to feature in the Premier League for Spurs despite training with the first team.

Devine commented: “Have u been doing gym.”, on Scarlett’s recent post after he has been putting in the work to break into the Spurs first-team.

Last campaign, when Jose Mourinho was Spurs boss, he described Dane Scarlett as a “diamond” and said that he wants him to be “part of the first-team” this season.

TIF Thoughts on Dane Scarlett’s current situation at Spurs…

Devine’s reaction to the post suggests that Scarlett may have been bulking up as he continues his progression at Spurs.

Despite Mourinho’s comments last campaign, Scarlett is yet to feature in the Premier League this season under new boss Antonio Conte, but he was given opportunities in Europe by the Italian’s predecessor, Nuno Espirito Santo.

The reason for Scarlett’s involvement in the first team could be down to him being the only other recognisable forward at the club other than Harry Kane. So it is no surprise the 17-year-old has had to feature in at least some form for Spurs this season.

Therefore, if Spurs were to sign another striker with a bit of experience, then Scarlett could have trained with the first team and learned from the England skipper, whilst playing matches for the Under-23s instead of being thrown in at the deep end. Perhaps that time will come sooner or later.
