It led to a debate over the Portuguese boss and his predecessor, Mauricio Pochettino, who many believe would have given Parrott a chance by now if he were still in charge.

There was even a comparison made to former Spurs forward Marcus Edwards, who left north London for Portugal in the summer.
He’s scored six times in all competitions for his new side Vitoria this season, including a goal against rivals Arsenal in the Europa League, and he was even once likened to Lionel Messi.
For some, there were question marks over his attitude, but whether such criticism is warranted remains to be seen for the time being.
