He's getting to be rather good.
Cost of not allowing any players to develop out of the academy (other than Winks) in 6 years and wondering why the top talents like Spurs u16 captain choose to go to a different club rather than join Spurs u18's

From what I could see older, stronger Chelsea players lasted the pace better over 90 minutes. In the first 45 minutes our boys more than held their own.
Nothing to be concerned about there, as our lads grow and mature they will get stronger.

Scarlett is 16 and about 7 months old (dob 24/3/2004, probably making us both feel old !) - first year of academy this season.
Very much a traditional centre forward, and very good at it for Spurs and E u16's. Was injured close to start of last season and missed most of it back for last couple of games for Spurs u16;s, just enough to show injury had not affected him allowing JM to pick him for first team pre-season. Due to his injury and covid (and Spurs not broadcasting u18 games) have seen him very little in Spurs u18 plus a couple of broadcast tournaments and E u16 highlights, but not seen enough of him, to give a comprehensive description, Powerful build for his age, very good on ball and great header of the ball - uses ball skills to score a wide variety of goals with both feet and head, definitely not a 'tap in merchant', just very skill full, able to bring passes coming at him in awkward situations under control with ease, and knows where goal is.
Kane can play both centre forward and no 10, Scarlett has only shown he's a phenomenal striker so far (think he's scored 4 hattricks this season at u18 level so far this season - including the 4 goals which gave him a chance against Ludogrets and the 5 goals yesterday) but plenty of time to develop his game (Kane in Spurs youth was always a 2nd striker, never a centre forward.....as a comparison).
Jamie Donley stepped up to play u18's in pre-season whilst Scarlett played for first team and did exceptionally well, and has played a few games this season. A year younger than Scarlett but building a good reputation as a striker, although yet to see anything like enough to really assess - but he is, like Scarlett, the England age group striker of choice. First time we've had the E youth strikers of choice in successive year groups at Spurs that I can recall.

Great to see. Then get these kids out on loan the moment they turn 18.
