Tottenham Hotspurs striker Troy Parrot has signed a new contract with the London-based outfit.
The 18-year old has committed his future to Spurs until 2023. He had entered the final 18 months of his initial contract.
Parrot has made two first team appearances for Spurs since coming through the youth ranks at the club, with his Premier League debut coming against Burnley in December.
With England forward Harry Kane out with a hamstring injury, Parrot has been tipped to break into Jose Mourinho’s first team plans, though the Portuguese tactician said last month that he did not think the player was ready.
‘’I think he has the potential. I think he needs to work a lot. He has a process to go through, a process that probably Tanganga had. One thing is 17 and the other thing is 20. We are speaking about three years of distance and three years.’’ Said Mourinho.
‘’I think Troy has to go through a process. Can he have minutes? Yes, he can have minutes. I’m not saying he’s not able to have minutes but, to put on his shoulders the responsibility of replacing somebody to be replaced, I don’t think he’s ready at all.’’ He added.
