TOTTENHAM could turn to one of theirs to challenge Harry Kane for a starting place in front: Troy Parrott, 17.
Striker Parrott is a promising prospect at Spurs, who has signed up as a researcher last summer and has scored some fun goals for the youth teams.

Kane is missing two months with a second-year ankle tear and uses a treadmill developed by NASA to help her recover.
His absence leaves a huge void to fill for Tottenham.
The boss, Mauricio Pochettino, insists that the club will not be replaced by a substitute despite the injury of Kane and the presence of Heung-min Son in the Asian Cup.
That leaves Fernando Llorente as the only senior center forward, which places Parrott and fellow 21-year-old Shayon Harrison in the equation.
And the Irishman Parrott is the one who will excite the most fans who will try to overcome the pain of losing Kane.
He has already made his mark in a derby in North London for under 23 years … being evicted for pushing Julio Pleguezuelo to Arsenal.
So keep an eye on him on March 2nd when he leads the line against the Gunners in the first team!
Parrott admitted earlier this season that Kane was the player he admired.

WAR CHILDREN Alphonso Davies was born in a refugee camp, escaped to Canada and is preparing to join Bayern Munich for £ 17 million.
He said: "Harry Kane is incredibly well done and he's a man I respect and can learn from him as an attacker.
"With the staff and the best players around me at the Spurs, I know that I will have the best chances to progress here.
"It's a club that has always brought young players into the first team."
Parrott, a technically gifted number nine, could realize his dream earlier than expected when he receives Poch's call.

Regarding his education, he added: "Whether I'm on the road or in the park with my friends, I liked having the ball at my feet.
"My mother could not take me out of the street every day.
"Becoming a professional footballer is all I've ever hoped for – I do not want to do anything else."
Parrott, who is a young Irish international, was followed by Chelsea, Liverpool and Celtic before making the decision to join Tottenham from Belvedere to Dublin.
Similarly, former Irish boss Martin O'Neill has already taken Parrott aside to encourage him, while seeking to progress in the ranks of the country's youth.
He represented Ireland at the 2018 Under-17 European Championships, scoring three goals in four matches.
And the Republic hopes to emulate the country's top scorer – and former Spurs hero – Robbie Keane.
Tottenham will want that to happen too.
