According to The Athletic, there have been questions over the mentality and application of Tottenham Hotspur striker Troy Parrott recently, with some club insiders registering surprise at his apparent immaturity.
Spurs boss Jose Mourinho appeared to suggest last week that the teenager lacks emotional control, and he does not think he is ready for regular first-team football.
Parrott was expected to see more playing minutes following long-term injuries to Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, but he hasn’t even made Tottenham’s last three matchday squads, and in Mourinho’s eyes, thrusting him into his side at such a young age and with so little experience is not a gamble worth taking.
