Report: Tottenham could block summer exits for two players despite lack of minutes

GiveMeSport have claimed that Tottenham Hotspur could prevent Oliver Skipp and Troy Parrott from leaving the club this summer to ensure they have the required homegrown numbers for the Premier League and the Champions League.

Parrott has been in sublime form on loan at Excelsior Rotterdam with 12 goal contributions in 22 Eredivisie matches so far this season.

GiveMeSport have backed up what we have already heard from other sources by suggesting that the striker is now a wanted man across Europe, with clubs from Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium said to be plotting moves for him.

Tottenham could block exits for Parrott and Skipp

However, the outlet says that Spurs could block Parrott from leaving the club since they are in danger of failing to meet the Premier League’s homegrown quota heading into next season.

The report says that the Lilywhites are also wary about making sure that they have enough club-trained players for the Champions League if they qualify for the competition.

It is asserted that Oliver Skipp, who might want to leave his boyhood club in search of a new challenge, might also be prevented from leaving by Ange Postecoglou’s men.

Postecoglou is not the sort of manager who would block players from leaving and keep them at the club just to make up the numbers in the squad if he has no intention of using them.

I do expect Spurs to offload Skipp and the Lilywhites will be keen to bring homegrown players through the door, which is demonstrated by the fact that they are showing keen interest in the likes of Conor Gallagher and Tosin Adarabioyo.
