Terms Agreed for Irish Striker’s Transfer
Troy Parrott, Tottenham’s 22-year-old striker, is on his way to Holland to undergo a medical with AZ Alkmaar after terms between the parties were agreed. The Irish forward is set to leave the Spurs on a permanent deal, which is reported to carry a seven-figure transfer fee.
Spurs Greenlight Parrott’s Departure
Spurs have authorized Parrott to finalize his move to the Netherlands, signaling the end of his tenure with the North London club. Although Parrott’s contract with Tottenham was due to run until next summer, the club has chosen to offload him in the current transfer window.
A Journey from Belvedere to Eredivisie
Parrott joined Tottenham back in 2017 from Belvedere, and while the initial transfer fee remains undisclosed, he has spent much of his subsequent career on loan. His most recent spell was with Excelsior Rotterdam in the Eredivisie, where his impressive tally of 10 goals and four assists in 25 matches caught the eye of AZ Alkmaar scouts.
Loan Spells Highlight Parrott’s Scoring Prowess
Parrott’s knack for finding the back of the net has been evident throughout his loan spells, evidenced by his 10 goals in 59 League One appearances. However, opportunities to shine at Tottenham have been scarce, with only four first-team appearances to his name.
Spurs on the Hunt for New Striking Talent
Despite Parrott’s imminent exit, Tottenham are actively searching for fresh striking options. Reports suggest that Santiago Gimenez and Ivan Toney are being considered as potential successors to Harry Kane as the club looks to bolster its attacking lineup this summer.
