According to 90min, coaches at Spurs are trying to persuade the board to bring Parrott through as the long-term replacement for Kane, rather than spending big on another striker.
The backroom team at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium have been impressed by his recent development and believe he could be the best option at the top of the pitch if/ when Kane departs.
Starring after previous struggles
Parrott has struggled to make an impact out on loan in recent seasons. He was unable to score in any of his 14 outings with Championship side Millwall, only managing one assist.
He then linked up with Ipswich Town, where he chipped in with two goals in 18 outings.
However, he has enjoyed a successful start to life on loan with Liam Manning’s MK Dons. In 10 appearances, Spurs loanee Parrott has managed three goals and four assists, helping MK in their strong start to the season.
