The international break offers Tottenham fans a chance to not only have a weekend off from watching their side, but also to keep an eye on players who wouldn’t normally be in the first-team.
If Troy Parrott has a good International break with Ireland, I would love it if Poch tried something different against West Ham… play Kane and Parrott together. It worked well in preseason. Hasn’t been seen since.

And for 17-year-old striker Troy Parrott, this week is seemingly going to a memorable one for the Spurs prospect as Mick McCarthy confirmed that the ‘bright’ Dublin-born attacker will make his Republic of Ireland debut against New Zealand tonight just a month after making his U-21 debut for the national team.
Will Parrott be able to break into the first-team?
Yes
No
And lots of Tottenham supporters on social media saw the exciting news for Parrott as an opportunity to tell manager Mauricio Pochettino to keep an eye on the teenage attacker that has made plenty of fans excited about the striker, with stats from Transfermarkt showing that the Spurs striker has managed seven goals five youth appearances this season.
Here’s what Tottenham fans had to say about Parrott’s upcoming international debut for Ireland on Twitter…

Parrott is Spurs’ only natural backup option to Harry Kane in the squad.
