Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino is focusing his attentions on signing Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon.

According to the Daily Star, Tottenham Hotspur no longer have any interest in bringing in a striker, which could be great news for Troy Parrott.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has decided that signing Ryan Sessegnon and Giovani Lo Celso are his main priorities for the rest of the transfer window.

The Star claim Spurs are unlikely to do any business beyond bringing the aforementioned duo in, with Pochettino now feeling that a striker isn’t a necessary purchase.

Tottenham had been chasing back-up for Harry Kane for a number of seasons now, but Pochettino feels that Lucas Moura and Heung-Min Son are adequate cover for Kane.

Parrott may well also be about to get his big break at Tottenham, if they don’t bring in a new number nine this summer.

Parrott has been taken on Spurs’s pre-season tour and is considered their brightest prospect right now.

The 17-year-old scored with great frequency at development squad level last term, and is considered to be a hugely exciting prospect.

Parrott started in Tottenham’s first friendly against Juventus and was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet.

And if Tottenham do go into the new campaign with Kane as their only out-and-out striker, then Parrott will surely get game-time in the first-team before the campaign finishes.
