Former Tottenham striker Troy Parrott would be open to a sensational return to North London this summer, even if the club suffers a historic relegation to the Championship.
According to a report from Football London’s Alasdair Gold, the Republic of Ireland international remains deeply attached to his boyhood club and is eager for a second chance to prove his worth in a Spurs shirt.

Troy Parrott keen on Tottenham return
Following a late collapse in their 2-2 draw against Brighton last weekend, Roberto De Zerbi’s side remains languishing in 18th place with just five games remaining.
While the threat of playing second-tier football for the first time since 1977 looms large, it has reportedly not deterred Parrott from eyeing a homecoming.
The 24-year-old left Spurs for AZ Alkmaar in the summer of 2024 after struggling to break into the first team under previous regimes. However, distance has clearly not dimmed his affection for the club.
With Tottenham potentially needing a squad rebuild in the event of relegation, a move for a homegrown talent who understands the club’s DNA could be seen as a priority for the hierarchy.
There are other clubs interested in him as well including Leeds United.
Parrott has been a massive success since leaving Spurs
Since moving to the Eredivisie, Parrott’s career has reached new heights.
He has transformed into one of Europe’s most clinical young finishers, remarkably netting 50 goals in 92 appearances for AZ Alkmaar.
This season alone, he has scored 30 goals and assisted another 11 in 45 games across all competition, taking his overall career tally to 114 goals in 279 games.
