Troy Parrott joins Eredivisie side on loan from Tottenham.
Troy Parrott has been signed on loan from Tottenham Hotspur by Excelsior. The striker, 21, has joined the Eredivisie club in pursuit of more regular first-team action. Parrott has previously spent time on loan in the Championship and League One with Millwall, Ipswich, MK Dons, and Preston North End.
Troy Parrott scored four goals in 34 appearances for Preston last season, helping them finish 12th in the Championship, and he spent the previous season on loan with MK Dons, when he scored nine goals in 43 League One outings.

Parrott rose through the ranks of Tottenham’s youth system. He’s moved abroad to play regular first-team football after only four senior outings for the North London club. The Dublin-born attacker will report to Excelsior boss Marinus Dijkhuizen, who led the team to Eredivisie survival last season. The team will now be hopeful that Troy Parrott can help them climb the league rankings. Excelsior hosts Fortuna Sittard on Friday night, looking to maintain their perfect start to the season.
“The way Excelsior play football and the ambitions of the club suit me. I have also obtained information from others and I think football in the Netherlands is more technical than in the English Championship.
“I think that way of playing football suits me and that’s why I think Excelsior is the right choice for me now.”
After allowing Parrott to leave on loan, Tottenham now turn their attention to further trimming their squad and will listen to offers for Hugo Lloris, Djed Spence, Eric Dier, Davinson Sanchez, Japhet Tanganga, Sergio Reguilon, Tanguy Ndombele, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Bryan Gil during the final days of the summer transfer window.
