Ones to watch: Four young stars who are ready to sparkle

Troy Parrott

Parrott is a 17-year-old Irish striker tipped for the top after impressing Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino during preseason.

Pochettino held Parrott back from joining Ireland's Under-19s for the European Championship in order to fast-track his development during Spurs Asian tour.

Parrott, who started up front against Juventus and Manchester United in preseason, has scored 20 goals in 30 games at youth level and the Dubliner is versatile enough to also play wide or in the No 10 role.

"If we have the squad that we have today, of course he's going to have the possibility to be with the first team," Pochettino said of a player who could benefit if Harry Kane is beset by more ankle problems.

Parrott has featured in several first-team squads but has yet to make his debut. He has already made his mark in a north London derby against Arsenal - by getting sent off for Spurs' Under-23 team.
