Scout report

A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.93 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Scarles.
Judged on this season alone, Scarles graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 58th of 64 of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League, on 1 clean sheet and 5.928 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 14).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 73, 36th of 64 of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League. At 20 Scarles is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 74.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Scarles missed 6 games through injury (shoulder) out of roughly 38 this season. The 13 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Scarles is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · West Ham finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
5.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 5.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.1/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 73, Scarles carries the 36th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League of 64 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
