However, with star man Son Heung-min set to temporarily leave Spurs in January to represent South Korea at the Asia Cup, the forward has been recalled by Ange Postecoglou.

Son will miss up to six Tottenham games, so Scarlett could step in to replace him if needed.

Spurs boss Postecoglou has revealed that the teenager could be awarded with some game time if he impresses in training.

Scarlett was limited to just 13 appearances off the bench at Ipswich, totalling 190 minutes.

Discussing his loan spell, Postecoglou said: “Good to get Dane back and obviously the loan didn’t work out for him at Ipswich, which is disappointing for him and disappointing for us because the reason we sent him out on loan was to get some game-time, rhythm and develop.

“It hasn’t worked out that way so made sense to bring him back.

“He is back training with us and becomes available from January 1st again.

“Then it is up to him. He will stay with us until the rest of the year and we’ll see how he trains and what opportunities may or may not come along, so we’ll address those situations then.”
