It was fair to say that Tottenham Hotspur’s season last summer was a fiasco because they failed to qualify for Europe.
In actuality, though, Ange Postecoglou has had far more time on the training field to instill his daring mindset because of the emphasis on domestic events alone.

It is a credit to the Australian manager that in addition to bringing in a plethora of quality players, he has also enhanced the players who were already at Spurs.
This is encouraging news for each and every Lilywhites loanee, particularly for one youngster who has been on fire in the Netherlands this season—scoring even more goals than Brennan Johnson.

Johnson agreed to a six-year contract worth £47.5 million to join Spurs from Nottingham Forest in the summer.
The Welsh player made an impression in his Premier League debut season last year, helping the Tricky Trees escape relegation with eight goals and three assists.

This season, the adaptable attacker has participated in 21 Premier League games, starting 17. However, his most impressive performances have come in the last six games, where he has scored three goals and provided two assists.

LINKED 8/10 This raises the Spurs star’s season total to four goals and six assists, but there is one Tottenham loanee who has scored more goals this year than Johnson. The Spurs star has been even more brilliant lately.
Statistics for Troy Parrott’s 23/23
The Tottenham supporters have been talking about Troy Parrott for a long time, ever since he played for the U18s.
The Irish academy graduate joined League One team MK Dons in 2021 and scored 10 goals in 47 games before being sent on loan to a number of clubs over the following few seasons.
After that, the star from Dublin was loaned to Preston North End in the Championship, where he scored four goals. Parrott, though, currently plays football for Excelsior of the Eredivisie, a team battling to stay in the Dutch top division.
With seven goals from 14 starts—three more than Johnson—the 22-year-old is presently the club’s leading scorer in the league. This is an incredibly impressive record given that the team he plays for is far from dominant—they are currently ranked 15th in the standings and one point above the relegation zone.
The “brilliant” Parrott, as former teammate Scott Twine referred to him, is evident by his low pass statistics and touches. This limits his technical skills because he frequently works with scraps.
He has, however, exceeded his anticipated targets and demonstrated that he is a pure finisher. In addition, despite missing seven excellent opportunities, it demonstrates that he is always in the ideal place to score and shows that he is hard to contain while moving within the box.

Overall, Parrott’s loan stint has been good, and he will acquire invaluable experience participating in a relegation battle. If they retain the young striker, Postecoglou will undoubtedly be excited to work with him at the end of the year.
