Many European clubs are vying for his signature even after the player’s recent professional contract with Spurs. Borussia Dortmund had signed Jadon Sancho from Premier League champions Manchester City way back in 2017. The teenager winger has developed well in Germany.

The player has been phenomenal for Tottenham Hotspur youth team, scoring five goals in three appearances along with an assist. Tottenham’s new manager Jose Mourinho has a reputation of not trusting the young players for the first team. Therefore, Troy Parrott’s chances of playing for the first team any time soon looks very bleak. This might compel the Irish striker to look for a switch to a club where he would get enough opportunities to establish himself in the first team.
