Some footage of Troy Parrott has divided some Tottenham Hotspur fans on Twitter.

The Irish striker helped loan side Millwall to FA Cup victory away to Boreham Wood on Saturday afternoon.

The 18-year-old Spurs prospect played 81 minutes of the 2-0 win and registered a tidy pre-assist for one of the goals.

It was a deft lay-off from the Tottenham academy graduate that ultimately led to Kenneth Zohore opening the scoring on the half-hour mark.

So much is expected of Parrott, who has made his Premier League debut for the Premier League side already.

But it hasn’t been a brilliant loan spell with the Championship side so far, failing to score in any of his nine league appearances – although he did suffer an ankle injury earlier in the campaign.

Here’s how fans of the North London side reacted to his contribution on Saturday:

Harry Kane got injured for Tottenham this time last year and a lot of Lilywhites fans urged Jose Mourinho to use Parrott as his replacement.

But his struggles in East London illustrate that the youngster – that’s the key word here – is nowhere near the finished article as of yet.
