Some Tottenham Hotspur fans on Twitter believe that Troy Parrott could shine under Antonio Conte.

Parrott starred for the Republic of Ireland national team against Andorra on Thursday evening.

The Tottenham academy graduate scored twice, as his side came from a goal down to win the friendly international 4-1.

The 19-year-old striker took his goals really well, and some Spurs fans were impressed, suggesting that potential new manager Conte could have a gem on his hands now.

The Telegraph has reported that it is only a matter of time before Conte is appointed as the new Tottenham manager.

Sky Sports reported last month that Kane wants to leave Spurs.

Parrott has made only a handful of appearances for the Tottenham first team so far in his career.

The teenage striker spent the first half of this past season on loan at Millwall and the second half on loan at Ipswich Town.

The Republic of Ireland international is a very talented and promising young striker who could do well if given the chance.

Now, if Conte does come to Spurs, then it is hard to see him make the teenager his main striker.

However, the 19-year-old could be a back-up striker to Kane or whoever Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy signs if the England international leaves.
