Troy Parrott hasn’t featured in a single Premier League game for struggling Spurs but could he move to one of the Bundesliga giants as a result?

Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are eyeing another raid for one of Britain’s brightest talents with Tottenham Hotspur starlet Troy Parrott the object of their affections, as reported by 90Min.

Dortmund famously snapped up Jadon Sancho from Manchester City in 2017, transforming him from a little-known teenager into an established England international and one of the most coveted young attackers in world football. Bayern, meanwhile, made no secret of their desire to sign Callum Hudson-Odoi from Chelsea earlier in the year.

Now, with the January transfer window looming on the horizon, reports have emerged suggesting Parrott could follow in the footsteps of not only Sancho but Rabbi Matondo, Ademola Lookman, Reece Oxford and another former Spurs striker Keanan Bennetts.

Parrott is very highly rated in North London but, despite featuring regularly in pre-season, the teenager hasn’t been included in a single one of Mauricio Pochettino’s matchday squads for the Premier League or Champions League so far.

Tottenham hold all the cards, tying the Republic of Ireland U21 star down to a long-term contract recently, but there is an acceptance that Parrott could grow tired with life in the reserves.

Thanks to Sancho’s rapid rise, young Premier League talents are fully aware that opportunities for first-team football are out there if they are willing to move out of their comfort zone and test themselves in another league.

So maybe this is the perfect time for Pochettino to remind Parrott that he does in fact have a role to play going forward.
