Scarlett briefly became Tottenham's youngest ever player, aged 16 years and 247 days, when he came on in their Europa League game with Ludogorets in November 2020.
"Dane is such an exciting young centre-forward and we expect that he can begin making a difference straight away," Oxford boss Des Buckingham said.
