Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> teenager Troy Parrott has signed a new contract with the club, according to Dan Kilpatrick on the Evening Standard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Troy Parrott Agrees New Tottenham Hotspur Contract<\/h2>\n

The Deal<\/h3>\n

Talk over a new deal for Parrott had been going on for some time. However, they were only able to fully go ahead once Parrott turned 18 two days ago.<\/p>\n

He has now agreed to a three-year extension with the club, effectively ending previous interest from European heavyweights Bayern Munich<\/a> and Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n

Spurs were open to loaning Parrott out in the recently-closed January transfer window. Both Charlton Athletic and ADO Den Haag, managed by Alan Pardew, were keen on bringing in the Irishman.<\/p>\n

Euro 2020 Hopes<\/h3>\n

With a new deal settled, Parrott can fully focus on breaking into the team at Spurs. The club are currently without a senior striker due to Harry Kane’s injury, but rather than play with Parrott, they have decided to use both Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura in the position instead. Manager Jose Mourinho even said he is<\/a> “not at all ready.”<\/p>\n

Parrott has already made the step up to senior international level with the Republic of Ireland, starting the 3-1 friendly win against New Zealand in November 2019. While he didn’t score, he managed to assist Sean Maguire for the opening goal.<\/p>\n

Mick McCarthy’s side are not certain to be at Euro 2020 yet and will need to face a play-off semi-final against Slovakia before potentially meeting Northern Ireland in the play-off final.<\/p>\n

With Parrott’s new deal finally confirmed, those games will now be fully in his sights, particularly with minutes at Spurs not forthcoming recently.<\/p>\n

Spurs clearly see him as one for the future, but good performances in the upcoming games for Ireland could see them bring forward his inclusion in the team.<\/p>\n
