‘Where I want to play’ – 21-year-old admits he is unsure about his Spurs future

In a report from Lancs Live, Tottenham Hotspur youngster Troy Parrott has admitted he doesn’t know what the future holds for him at the club beyond his loan spell with Preston North End.

Parrott came through the Tottenham Hotspur academy and progressed through the youth teams in North London, but has just four first-team appearances to his name so far (Transfermarkt).

He has never quite been given a chance for Spurs, but is considered a top prospect at the club.

The young Irish striker enjoyed a successful loan spell at MK Dons last season, scoring ten goals and registering seven assists for the League One side (Transfermarkt).

He has stepped up a level this year and is currently on loan in the Championship with Preston North End, but has seen his season interrupted by injury issues.

In 23 appearances, Parrott has just three goals for the Lancashire club (Transfermarkt).

It’s unclear what the plan will be for Parrott once the current campaign ends, but the player has spoken on his hopes of breaking into the Tottenham Hotspur first-team in the future.

When asked what next season will hold for the 21-year-old, he said: “I am not sure.

“I hope I have a future at Tottenham – I have always said that’s where I want to play.

“But, we will see how the end of the season goes, then take it into the summer and take it as it comes.”

I figure a lot will depend on the managerial situation and the Harry Kane situation at Spurs when it comes to deciding what to do with Troy Parrott.

At the moment, I can’t see him breaking into the team, at least not in the next year.

However, if we get a new manager in the summer who puts more value on youth, there’s every chance Parrott could be given a chance to prove himself.

The more likely scenario is that he will go out to another Championship team next season, though.
