Tottenham made £6.7m mistake as 13-goal striker could earn Premier League return

Wait 5 sec.

One former Tottenham Hotspur striker is attracting interest from clubs across the Premier League and Europe due to his goalscoring abilities.If there is one position where Tottenham Hotspur should not need a new signing, it is at the front of their attack. Mathys Tel and Randal Kolo Muani were both added to the Tottenham first-team squad over the summer, meaning the club currently have five strikers.However, Dominic Solanke has missed much of the season due to injury, and Muani has had a spell on the sidelines too.Added to this are questions regarding the future of Richarlison, while, based on his limited minutes, Dane Scarlett is not seen as an important player by Thomas Frank.Photo By Stephen McCarthy/Sportsfile via Getty ImagesTroy Parrott is wanted by Premier League clubsTottenham, therefore, might look to sign yet another centre forward in the coming months, and one potential option is Troy Parrott, who started his career at the club.Football Insider report that a number of teams’ representatives will be watching the Republic of Ireland’s World Cup qualifying clash with Hungary on Sunday so they can keep an eye on Parrott. The 23-year-old was the hero in his country’s shock 2-0 victory over Portugal on Thursday, scoring both of Ireland’s goals. Many clubs across Europe are said to be keeping tabs on Parrott, who has scored 13 goals in 14 appearances across all competitions for AZ Alkmaar this season.Context is important in relation to Parrott’s goalscoring recordParrott has gone on to make a name for himself since leaving the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. With Premier League clubs known to be interested in securing his signature, there are inevitable questions about whether Spurs might look to re-sign their former player.Although Parrott has good goal stats, most of his successful efforts this season have come in Conference League qualifiers against low-quality opponents. Even the Eredivisie is not the hardest competition to score a large number of goals.Of course, he scored twice against Portugal, the side that won the UEFA Nations League. However, one match is not enough to base a decision on.To put things into context, Solanke scored 19 Premier League goals directly before joining Spurs, and he still struggled during his first season in North London.Parrott might have gone on to become a good striker, but Tottenham will need to consider if he is at the level they require.READ MORE – Micky van de Ven almost does it again as Tottenham star runs the length of the pitch The post Tottenham made £6.7m mistake as 13-goal striker could earn Premier League return appeared first on Spurs Web.
