Tottenham striker Troy Parrott has joined Championship side Millwall on a season-long loan, it has been confirmed.
Parrott, 18, is considered one of the brightest young talents at Spurs and was handed his Premier League debut by Jose Mourinho against Burnley last December.
However, the teenager didn’t feature after that despite Tottenham losing Harry Kane and Son Heung-min to injury.
It seems Parrott wasn’t quite ready to play regular top-flight football, which explains why Spurs have sent him to Millwall to continue his development next term.
Kane also spent time at The Den on loan, and that turned out quite well – Tottenham will be hoping Parrott can have a similar impact upon his return to north London.
Failing that, the Republic of Ireland international could determine his true level while playing in the Championship, potentially earning a permanent move elsewhere at the end of his loan spell.
But judging by the Spurs fanbase’s response to the confirmation of his temporary move, many would love to see Parrott become N17’s next goalscoring sensation.

Good move, the lad needs some game time and some tough coaching to get him on track. Think some people forget how young he is.

Your Millwall now lad, enough said.
Loans did wonders for Kane,Walker and Rose and led them to stardom.
Hopefully the same will be the case for Parrott.
Millwall must of course play him on a regular basis.Good luck Troy; sure you will come back a different and better player ready to challenge for the 1st team.
Surely Levy must now buy a proven striker.
Thanks Spurs for the loan of your young striker , as we are certainly in need of some goals , and in return hopefully we can help produce another top striker for you . The young lad will get a great welcome down the Den .
