Done Deal: Excelsior welcomes Spurs striker Parrott 'an attack leader'

Tottenham striker Troy Parrott has joined Excelsior Rotterdam.

The 21 year-old Republic of Ireland international has joined Excelsior on a season-long loan.

Technical manager Niels van Duinen told the club's website: "We have been looking for an attack leader from the start of this transfer window and knew we had to be patient.

"We had Troy on the radar for some time and did everything we could to get him to Excelsior. Despite interest from other clubs in the Netherlands and Europe, we have come to an agreement with him and Tottenham Hotspur through our story.

"With his arrival, we are strengthening our ambitions. Troy is a player who brings a lot of energy, who likes to play football, but also wants to be in the box to score a goal. We expect him to adapt quickly to his new environment and our way of playing."
