One Star expected to leave Tottenham Hotspur on loan again…

Tottenham and AZ Alkmaar have agreed the transfer of a striker who scored 17 league goals last season and hopes are high the move will spark a genuine title charge.

Much was expected of Troy Parrott upon breaking into Tottenham’s first team way back in the 2019/20 season. Unfortunately for the striker, the presence of Harry Kane meant the Republic of Ireland international did not have a clear pathway into the eleven.

As such, the now 22-year-old was loaned out on four separate occasions before a fifth loan exit was sanctioned last summer. Parrott joined Dutch side Excelsior and impressed during a magnificent campaign.

Parrott bagged 17 goals in 29 Eredivisie matches including two late-season hattricks in the relegation play-offs. Ultimately, his efforts weren’t enough to prevent Excelsior from being relegated.

According to numerous sources, Parrott is now primed to return to the Netherlands by joining AZ Alkmaar in a permanent deal.

The Dutch club – who finished in fourth position and ahead of Ajax last term – hope to take the next step and challenge for the title next season.
