da heads bet： Troy Parrott keeps scoring goals in Tottenham Hotspur’s youth teams.
The striker scored twice on Monday as Spurs’ U18s beat Liverpool 4-2 in the FA Youth Cup, winning and converting two penalties throughout the 90 minutes.
Of course, with Jose Mourinho now as manager, the futures of the club’s youngsters are up in the air.
It remains to be seen if they will be given the chances that they may have been afforded under Mauricio Pochettino.
But Parrott simply has to keep scoring goals and, thus far, he is doing that.
Transfermarkt state that he has scored 15 goals for the U18s but that number does not include his brace versus the Reds, taking his tally to 17 in total, while he has also scored nine goals in nine games for the UEFA U19s and four in 13 for the U23s.
He is currently the top scorer in the UEFA Youth League, too.
Reports have stated that Mourinho would like to bring in a striker in the January transfer window as he looks to secure some support for Harry Kane, who is the only senior out-and-out striker in the first-team squad following the exit of Fernando Llorente.
However, the same report states that the Portuguese will have to sell before he buys and it surely makes that little bit more sense to bring Parrott up to the first-team and have him around the squad, training consistently with Kane and the likes of Son Heung-min and Dele Alli.
It would save Mourinho the trouble of having to bring and bed in a new forward and allow Parrott to grow and improve while playing with perhaps the best striker in England.
There is nothing to say that he wouldn’t be able to occasionally drop down to help the U23s or the U18s too, but he could be a major winner of Mourinho’s reign in January.
The former Manchester United and Inter Milan boss ought to snub the chance to sign a forward, such has been Parrott’s excellent form for the youth sides.
Meanwhile, Spurs fans have reacted to the first sighting of Mauricio Pochettino since his sacking.
