Spurs must sell an exciting striker

There were a lot of problems on Tottenham Hotspur This season, but scoring goals wasn’t really one of them.
Ange Postecoglou’s side found the back part Net on 53 occasions in Premier leagueTogether with Manchester City and the other only of the white leaders of Liverpool.
However, although that sounds great, and in some extent, it is a northern London residents to achieve a lot in some games, and then, as many of their fans will confirm, losing others with one goal.

So, although this is one of their forces, the Spurs would further improve with more goalkeepers, and that just happens that the club has sold one summer for a crowd, which is now worth much more.
How did Tottenham’s attack go 2024/25
Before you reach the player in question, it is worth first to look at Spurs’s best shooters at all competitions, starting with Brennan Johnson.
Welsh International has endured a rough start of the campaign and has just returned from the injury, but he is still the best scorer of the club this season, with impressive 14 shots His name in 35 games, and he provided three assists for a good measure.
Not far away is summer and the record to sign Dominic Solanko, which is certainly not tangled Its price of £ 65m This year, after, after his middle start, he was racing 11 goals in 29 appearancesand even came in with six assists to start.
Three players are hot on the English -based dressers, as Dejan Kulusevski, son of Heung-my, and James Maddison has found the back of the net ten times this season, doing it in 42, 36 and 34 games.
Pope Matar Sarr is quite falling after that, who has five goals for his name In 39 games and then rounding the list, this is Richarlison, who collected the sum of only three goals in 14 performances this season.

In short, while Tottenham did not have a great campaign in any part of the imagination, fans saw that their side result was scoring a lot of goals. In this regard, the player of the Academy who sold the summer surpassed everything on this list and saw that his assessment was because of this.
Ex-Spursi ace is worth a million today
When it comes to the stars of the goal academy, Tottenham has a rather records with Peter Crouch and Harry Kane, but in this case, the striker in question is giving up on his store away from the Premier League.
After spending last season on loan In the Netherlands with Excelsior, where he collected enough reasonable 17 goals and five assists In 32 games, Troy Parrott finally left Lilywhites after joining the club As a 15-year-old In the summer of 2017.
However, instead of moving to another club in England, the Irishman decided to stay in Eredivisie and joined the Dutch Giants AZ Alkmaar with a fee of around 8 million euros, which is converted to around £ 7m.
Although this could be done with a decent sufficiently compensation for the Academy graduate at the time, we believe that Daniel Levy and Co would wish that they were looking for more now.
For example, since he moved to de Kaasboeren, “phenomenal” Marksman, as he called Former head of Preston North End Ryan Lowecollected by a sensational number 17 goals and three assists In 36 appearances, a total of 2642 minutes.

This means that a preacher of born in Dublin outweighs everything in Tottenham teams and an average participation in the goal every 1.8 games, or every 132.1 minutes.
Not surprising that this is a 23-year-old, estimate, with the CIES football observatory now Prices it around 31 million euroswhich is converted to around £ 25.5 million or a whopping 193% increase in the fee paid by AZ in the summer.
Finally, Parrott’s sale was probably the right thing for his career, but with playing well this season, we can’t imagine imagining that this year it would be a great option for postecoglou benches.
