Spurs set for major financial windfall thanks to smart 2024 transfer decision | OneFootball

Tottenham could be set to receive a significant financial windfall this summer, thanks to a smart decision made by then Chairman Daniel Levy when offloading striker Troy Parrott in 2024.

The Republic of Ireland international, who struggled to break into the first team at N17, was sold to Dutch side AZ Alkmaar for £6.7 million in July 2024.

However, Spurs inserted a 20% sell-on clause into the deal, a move that looks increasingly brilliant as Parrott’s market value continues to increase.

Daniel Farke’s side is among the suitors monitoring the 24-year-old, with a potential transfer fee now estimated at £25 million.

Should a deal in that price bracket be finalised, Tottenham would be entitled to roughly £5 million.

This represents a significant return on a player who made only four senior appearances for the club.

While Leeds are among the frontrunners, other clubs, including AC Milan, Fulham, and Wolfsburg, are also said to be keeping tabs on the prolific forward, which could drive the price even higher.

Troy Parrott has been impressive since leaving Spurs

Parrott’s departure from North London appears to have been the catalyst for his transformation into one of Europe’s most clinical young strikers.

After a solid first year in the Netherlands where he netted 20 goals, the Dublin-born forward has taken his game to another level in the 2025/26 campaign.

This season he has scored 28 goals and assisted another 10 in 42 games across all competitions.

Parrott’s form has not been limited to club football; his five goals for Ireland in 2025, including a stunning hat-trick against Hungary, were instrumental in firing his nation into the 2026 World Cup play-offs.

At 24, Parrott finally looks ready for the Premier League stage.
