Alasdair Gold says 17-goal star is more likely to leave Spurs than stay this summer
Alasdair Gold has said that Tottenham Hotspur are likely to cash in on Troy Parrott this summer on the back of his impressive displays at Excelsior Rotterdam last season.
Troy Parrott could leave Spurs this summer
Parrott has long been viewed as a potential first-team prospect at Hotspur Way but the striker did not quite manage to fulfil his potential during his loan spells at the EFL.
However, the 22-year-old showed his class during his stint at Eredivisie last season, netting 17 goals for the Dutch side across the campaign.
It has been widely reported that the forward has emerged as a target for several clubs on the back of his impressive showing at Rotterdam, with a few Eredivisie clubs particularly keen on securing his services (Algemeen Dagblad via FC Update).
The Spurs academy graduate admitted to the Irish Examiner last month that he does not know what the future holds, revealing that he has not spoken to Ange Postecoglou about his plans for next season.
Troy Parrott to AZ Alkmaar?
Gold has now said that he expects the Republic of Ireland international to leave Tottenham permanently this summer.
When asked about Parrott’s future, the journalist said on a Q&A on Football.London: “I would say it’s more than likely Troy Parrott will be sold this summer.
“I’ve reported before that AZ Alkmaar are showing the most interest and at this point, I would imagine that could well end up being his destination.
“He’s done well in the Eredivisie and it suits him down to the ground. I would have loved to have seen him break through at Spurs and so would he, but it feels like that window of opportunity has closed.”
Spurs Web Opinion
With Parrott having a year left on his contract, Tottenham will have no choice but to sell him unless he agrees to sign an extension.
The chances of the striker signing a new deal are minimal, especially now that he has had a taste of regular first-team football.
