According to The Daily Star, Tottenham Hotspur youngster Troy Parrott will be given the opportunity to be Harry Kane's understudy in the first team this season.

The 17-year-old is currently with the Spurs squad preparing for the 2019-20 campaign and was actually named in the starting XI against Juventus last time out.

Mauricio Pochettino's side are currently short of options in the final third when considering Fernando Llorente and Vincent Janssen have both moved on.

However, according to The Daily Star, the capital outfit will not be moving for a new striker this summer as Parrott will be given the chance to be Kane's understudy.

The Spurs fans have been on social media reacting to the claim.

And it would be fair to say that a number have differing views.

Indeed, whilst many would be pleased for Parrott to be promoted, others are fearful that the teenager is not quite ready to be placed under that sort of pressure.
