Troy Parrott is prepared to do whatever it takes to make it at Tottenham Hotspur and admitted that he is looking forward to working with Ange Postecoglou.
Big things have been expected of Parrott for many years but the youngster has not quite set the world alight in his last two loan spells at MK Dons and Preston North End.

The striker only found the back of the net three times in 32 Championship appearances for Preston in 2022-23 in what was a frustrating injury-hit campaign for the youngster.
The 21-year-old, who has already netted four times for the Republic of Ireland, will now work under yet another new Spurs manager when he turns up for pre-season, having already worked with the likes of Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo and Antonio Conte.
However, unlike his predecessors, Postecoglou has a reputation for putting faith in young talent, and Parrott will be hoping to catch the Australian’s eye.
Troy Parrott still aims to make it at Tottenham
The centre-forward admitted that he is excited to see what the 57-year-old can bring to Spurs, having kept a close eye on his success at Celtic.
Parrott told Irish Examiner: “I’ve not spoken to him yet because it only happened recently.
“I want to play for Tottenham so, whatever steps I have to take to get there, I’m willing to do it.
“I support Celtic and I’ve watched quite a few of their games. He seems like a good manager who wants to play good attacking football so we’ll see what happens.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Spurs fans should not write off Parrott because of his struggles at MK Dons and Preston as it is worth remembering that Harry Kane himself flattered to deceive during his loan spells.
However, having said that, at 21 years of age, Parrott is now at the point where he has to impress the coaches at Tottenham if he is to have a realistic shot at forging a career at the club.
