Tottenham are intent on avoiding a repeat of the Troy Parrott situation with another top prospect, as two major European giants chase the in-form striker, sources say.

Tottenham are intent on avoiding a repeat of the Troy Parrott situation with another promising youngster, even as two major European clubs track the in-form striker.

Former Spurs forward Parrott is attracting interest from Bayern Munich and Juventus as he begins to deliver on the goalscoring promise he showed in his youth. Tottenham sold him to AZ Alkmaar for £6.7m in 2024—a move that disappointed many fans who hoped he would become a long-term figure in the first team.

His recent goals for the Republic of Ireland have pushed him back into the spotlight and increased expectations of a significant transfer. He would only consider a return to England if the right opportunity emerges, with Leeds United viewed as a possible destination. Both Bayern and Juventus have carried out checks in case he finally looks ready to fulfil his full potential.

Although Parrott was once considered Tottenham’s next Harry Kane, he failed to score in his four senior appearances for the club.

In contrast, Spurs plan to show greater patience with emerging striker Jamie Donley. The 20-year-old, currently on loan at Stoke City, is highly rated and still seen as a player who can succeed in north London. He recently netted his first senior goal for Northern Ireland in a 1-0 win over Luxembourg.

Tottenham are closely monitoring his development in the Championship as they prepare a fresh chance for him to impress next season. Following a loan spell at Leyton Orient, Donley is now aiming to make his mark at a higher level, and the club remains confident he has the potential to become an important name in the future.
