The 22-year-old Spurs forward has experience in the Championship, League One and Scottish Premiership. An England youth international is a right-footed centre-forward is under contract at the North London club until June 2027.
Transfer Correspondent Pete O'Rourke reported that the Royals hold interest in the young forward alongside Aston Villa academy striker Rory Wilson.
Scarlett came through Tottenham’s academy and has made senior first-team appearances in the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and Champions League. His senior Tottenham total stands at 27 appearances and one goal across all competitions.
His main senior loan spells have come at Portsmouth, Ipswich Town, Oxford United and Hibernian.
Scarlett made 22 competitive appearances for Oxford in 2024/25 and scored four goals. At Hibernian last season, he made 13 Scottish Premiership appearances, with one goal and one assist in 517 league minutes; across all competitions.
Rory Wilson is a 20-year-old Scottish centre-forward on Aston Villa’s books who has a prolific academy record but has yet to establish himself in senior football. He joined Villa from Rangers in 2022 after scoring 49 youth goals in his final season at Ibrox.
Wilson averaged a goal every 64 minutes during the 2023/24 scholarship campaign, scoring 16 times in 13 appearances. He also scored four goals in a UEFA Youth League tie against Skënderbeu in November 2025, a performance which took him to five in four matches in the competition that season.
Wilson’s senior loan at Austrian Bundesliga side Sturm Graz in the second half of 2025/26 did not produce the minutes he needed.
He made four substitute appearances, totalling 23 minutes, and did not score. That came across 15 possible league fixtures after his February move, and he returned to Aston Villa in the summer.
