Millwall winger Jed Wallace has lavished Troy Parrott with praise after the Tottenham-owned player earned his first start for the Lions during Wednesday’s 1-1 draw with Reading .

The 26-year-old scored his fifth goal of the season during the cont𓆉est with Millwall secu𝐆ring a fourth successive draw in the Championship.

Jose Mourinho allowed Parrott to leave Tottenham oℱn loan during the summer transfer window, with the Championship club option to sign him for the season.

The uncompromising striker picked up an injury shortly after checking in with the South London-based🥂 club and has been forced to wait for his chance to impress.

Wallace is one of the Championship’s standout performers and he has♍ claimed that iꦺt didn’t take long for him to see Parrott’s quality.

“I thought Troy was b♏rilliant, you can see the quality he brings, the footballing brain he has – he’s only going to get better.

“He’s 18 and he’s playing that well already, on the back of being out for eight weeks. Troy was someone that 𓆏within the first 15 minutes of his first training session I knew the quality he had, the intelligence he has.”

TBR View – Parrott looks set for bright future

The challenge presenting the Tottenham youngster is to hold down a place in Gary Rowett’s team and🐻 hopefully fire plenty of goals.

Moving to the Championship might prove a daunti𝓀ng first loan move aw⭕ay from Spurs but he does have time on his side.

Wallace’s comments would suggest he is traini💜ng hard and that his talent is there for his temporary teammates to see.

If he continues to show a 🔯determined attitude his first goal shouldn’t be too 𒀰far away.

Mourinho has showcased so far at Tottenham that he’s not afraid to unleash the kids. With that in mind, the🎐 opportunity is there for Parro𝐆tt if he can get going at Millwall.
