Spurs Web Opinion
Parrott is certainly highly rated at Tottenham and so the club wouldn’t likely be open to letting him go. However, with Pochettino’s sacking, it is possible that the Irish youngster could look towards the Bundesliga in order to get game time as Jose Mourinho isn’t known for developing young players.
