With all eyes last midweek on Tottenham Hotspur’s senior clash with Inter Milan, there was also the UEFA Youth League clash going on but I typically forgot as Man Flu struck.
We faced off against their young charges on Wednesday and did lose out 4-2 on the day, but highly rated youngster Troy Parrott continued to impress folks with his own individual performance and his 2018/19 tally so far this season reads nine goals and five assists in 15 matches.
The latest goal came against Inter Milan and it was quite a peach.

For those fans following the game in one way or another, his effort went over very amongst those on social media and given his tender 16 years of age huge things continue to be expected from him on both a club and, in the future, international stage.
No idea if he's gonna make it at Spurs but Troy Parrott is gonna have a quality career imo. Finally smth for the Ireland fans to get excited about.

With Robbie Keane taking on the assistant position to Mick McCarthy I’m pretty sure he’ll be keeping a close eye on his future progress as well.
