Wolves interested in signing striker who Tottenham sold for just £7m under Ange Postecoglou – journalist

Wolverhampton Wanderers might now take advantage of a potential mistake that Tottenham Hotspur made in the transfer market last summer.

Wolves have been going from strength to strength under Vitor Pereira in recent months and they have now remarkably leapfrogged Tottenham in the Premier League table.

After 34 games Wolves now have 41 points and Pereira’s side are on a completely different trajectory to Spurs — who are now more familiar with losing four or five games in a row as opposed to winning.

Of course, Tottenham plan to sack Ange Postecoglou at the end of the season, perhaps to welcome back Mauricio Pochettino to north London.

Whereas Wolves will be planning for Pereira’s continued stay, a manager who’s proving why he’s already won four league titles in his career to date.

Wolves are considering a move for Troy Parrott

That being said, journalist Ben Jacobs has just revealed on ‘The Wolfpack’ podcast that Wolves are interested in AZ Alkmaar striker Troy Parrott. 

23-year-old Parrott joined Spurs’ academy back in 2017 when arriving from Ireland, a name that is very familiar with Tottenham fans.

Parrott only made four senior appearances before leaving but he scored a ton of goals for Spurs’ youth sides, as well as impressing in some of his Football League loans.

Of course, Tottenham sold Parrott to Dutch side AZ Alkmaar for £7m last summer, seemingly deciding that the striker couldn’t make the step up to Postecoglou’s first team.

But after 20 goals in 45 games for Alkmaar, Wolves are now said to have an interest in the striker, who perhaps has unfinished business in England.

The striker has never lacked belief in his own ability it seems, and Parrott claimed he was better than Dominic Solanke recently — Spurs’ big money signing in the same summer that he left.

Wolves begin their search for Matheus Cunha’s replacement

Of course, it should be noted that Parrott actually played against Spurs three times in the Europa League this season, games in which he did impress.

And with Manchester United pushing to sign Matheus Cunha, perhaps Parrott is being seen as a potential replacement at Molinuex.

Whilst predominantly being a number nine, Parrott has operated out wide or in roles behind the striker in his career, explaining why he might thrive in a similar role to Cunha.

It won’t be an easy task to replace the Brazilian should he leave, but perhaps Parrott could be a clever option.

Interestingly, Wolves are keen to sign one Tottenham transfer target in midfield as well this summer, and they are reportedly willing to triple the player’s wages.
