17-year-old Troy Parrott is back in red-hot form for Tottenham Hotspurs at underage level as he bagged another brace for the club's U18's - right off the back off a seven-week injury layoff.
Parrott has scored four in two games since his return last Saturday, this afternoon's brace against Chelsea brings his tally up to 14 for the season in just nine league games at U18 level.
And with marksman Harry Kane likely to miss the rest of the season after suffering his own injury, manager Mauricio Pochettino has only Fernando Llorente and in form winger Son Hueng-Min to call upon to fill the void.
John Delaney says he acted in best interests of the game by loaning FAI €100,000
Parrott has been close to a first team call-up earlier this season, but it now looks likely that if his form continues he may well get the call-up as some Tottenham fans express their desire to see him get his chance.
One fan said on Twitter: "Sounds good enough to me. Play him against Huddersfield."
Another claimed it's the perfect time for the Dubliner to make his mark, saying: "Why not give Parrott a first team chance? Off the bench, perfect time with Kane injured."
Parrott has also starred at U17 and U19 level for the Boys in Green, and was recently called up to Stephen Kenny's U21 side before a toe injury that required surgery ruled him out. The teenager will be eligible for both the Euro U17 and Euro U19 championships this summer.
