“Similar impact to the one made by Cameron Archer” – Preston consider summer move for Tottenham starlet: The verdict

This article is part of Football League World’s ‘The Verdict’ series, which provides personal opinions from the FLW writers regarding the latest breaking news, teams, players, managers, potential signings and more…

Preston North End are weighing up a summer loan move for Tottenham Hotspur striker Troy Parrott, as per a report from Football.London. 

The Lilywhites will have to battle it out with Middlesbrough, QPR and Swansea City for the 20-year-old’s signature, following a good spell with MK Dons last time out.

Parrott netted eight league goals and provided a further seven assists in 41 league games last time out for the Buckinghamshire club

The report states that the Premier League outfit are planning on welcoming Parrott into the first-team set up ahead of the 2023/24 campaign, with Spurs eyeing up a suitor who could help bridge the gap from League One to the top end of England’s top-flight.

Three of our writers here at FLW have shared their thoughts regarding Preston’s interest in the young forward…

Parrott had a very promising second half of the season and ended with an impressive 15 goal contributions with MK Dons.

The 20-year old finally started to show some of his exciting potential in League One in the last six months and the step up to the Championship is now the right next step in his career.

Ryan Lowe has worked well with younger players in the past and Parrott could really benefit from playing at Deepdale.

If he can continue his good momentum into next season then this would be a very good signing for Preston.

Having someone capable of scoring consistently could really help boost the team’s promotion chances, and the Lilywhites could be a great place for Parrott to prove he can be that player.
