Spurs legend’s blunt Troy Parrott message as Ireland striker prepares for busy Real Betis return

Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder and Real Betis manager Gus Poyet has advised Troy Parrott to stay in Spain despite reported transfer interest from Tottenham and Manchester United. The 24-year-old Republic of Ireland striker recently joined Betis from AZ Alkmaar in a €20 million transfer and features a €100 million release clause in a contract running until 2031.

Poyet emphasized that Parrott has found an ideal environment under manager Manuel Pellegrini following decisive goals against Real Madrid and Lille. Poyet argued that Tottenham should leave Parrott in Seville, noting that Spurs have struggled collectively and that the forward is happy and thriving in La Liga.
