Tottenham Hotspur first-team assistant coach Joao Sacramento has sent a message to Dane Scarlett on Instagram after the youngster signed his first professional contract with the club.

As announced by Tottenham today, Scarlett has put pen to paper on his first professional contract with the Premier League club.

The striker turned 17 on Wednesday and has signed a contract that runs until 2023.

Scarlett is a very talented and promising young striker who has already played for Jose Mourinho’s first team.

The English teenager has played a minute in the Premier League and 17 minutes in the Europa League for Spurs this season, according to WhoScored.

The youngster has also trained with the Tottenham senior side, and it is clear that Mourinho and the club rate him highly.

It is too early for Scarlett to establish himself in the Spurs first team. For now, the teenager needs to continue to deliver the goods for the youth side, score goals, and develop his game.

Tottenham are aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season and will also contest the EFL Cup final.
