Tottenham youngster Troy Parrott has a great chance to break through

Tottenham youngster Troy Parrott, who is only 17-year-old, has already played against big clubs during Spurs’ pre-season tour such as Juventus, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Inter Milan, so the clash against Colchester in the League Cup will not scare him. The Irish forward is in the Spurs for the third-round tie and made his debut in the friendly match against Juventus where the only thing missing from his breakthrough performance was a goal. Parrott is believed to be a leader in the Ireland national under-21 football team besides his professionalism and focus. However, Spurs are not ready to fully include him in the team but do not want him to play anywhere else, they prefer to keep him in the youngsters’ squad. The 17-year-old has impressed his coaches with his maturity and attitude, which are highly valued by both Mauricio Pochettino and academy director John McDermott. Parrott is likely to be in the line-up on the upcoming League Cup fixture against Colchester which will take place at Colchester Community stadium tonight.
