Tottenham Hotspur youngster Troy Parrott has perhaps picked the perfect time to bag another brace.
With Mauricio Pochettino fearing that Tottenham will have to complete the season without Harry Kane, Troy Parrott appears to have picked an outstanding time to provide the latest reminder of his frightening talent.
In comments reported by BBC Sport, Pochettino confirmed that Spurs are worried that Kane will miss the rest of the season after being injured in a challenge with Fabian Delph during Tottenham’s Champions League tie with Manchester City on Tuesday.
The news is clearly a big blow for Spurs, who have a fantastic chance of reaching the semi-finals in Europe after winning 1-0 at their new home, and will be looking to finish in the top four in the Premier League.
There are options available to Pochettino, of course. But it appears that plenty of Spurs fans are hoping that he may now consider a player that is awaiting his first-team debut, especially after his latest performance.
Parrott inspired Tottenham’s under-18 side to a 2-0 win against Chelsea, scoring either side of the break to keep the youngsters in the hunt for the title heading into the final day of the season.
The 17-year-old broke the deadlock after 15 minutes and doubled the lead with a free-kick from 20 yards out. He also hit the post in another impressive showing from the teenager.
And following Kane’s injury, plenty of Tottenham supporters have urged Pochettino to include Parrott in the first-team squad for this weekend’s Premier League clash with Huddersfield Town in the hope that he can potentially make his senior debut before the campaign concludes.
