Tottenham Hotspur fans have called for Troy Parrott to be involved in their side’s match against Tranmere Rovers later this evening.

Spurs are due to take on Tranmere in the FA Cup tonight, with Mauricio Pochettino’s side heavy favourites to progress.

Tottenham are expected to take the opportunity to rest some of their senior players for the contest.

And Spurs fans want Parrott to be given his first taste of first-team action at Prenton Park.

Parrott is still only 16-years-old, but he is regarded as one of the brightest prospects at Tottenham.

The Irish-born striker has scored prolifically at all age levels, and his record for the under-23’s is impressive this term.

Parrott has netted nine goals in six under-18 Premier League matches this term for Tottenham’s academy side.

If Parrott is selected to start he could feature alongside the likes of Fernando Llorente and Lucas Moura, who are also expected to be picked by Pochettino.
