Troy Parrott, a 22-year-old Irish international, has not been seen in Tottenham’s pre-season training sessions, raising questions about his future with the club.
His impressive loan spell at Excelsior Rotterdam last season, where he scored 17 goals and provided 5 assists in 32 appearances, has made him a target for several Dutch clubs, with AZ Alkmaar reportedly leading the race for his signature.
Parrott’s professional journey with Tottenham began in 2019 when he signed his first professional contract and made his senior debut.
Despite his potential, limited opportunities at Spurs have led to multiple loan spells, allowing him to gain valuable experience and showcase his talent.
Paul O’Keefe, a club insider and reporter, suggested on social media platform X that Parrott’s absence from training could be linked to an impending bid from AZ Alkmaar.
This move could provide Parrott with the first-team opportunities he has struggled to secure at Tottenham.
As Parrott enters the final year of his contract, set to expire next June, the coming weeks will be crucial for his career. Tottenham’s management, led by manager Ange Postecoglou, will need to decide whether to integrate Parrott into the first team or allow him to pursue opportunities elsewhere.
The outcome could significantly impact both Parrott’s career trajectory and Tottenham’s squad dynamics.
