Report: Why striker Mourinho said has qualities & potential has rejected Celtic offer
According to Independent.ie, Tottenham Hotspur striker Troy Parrott turned down an offer to sign for Celtic before agreeing to join Millwall on a one-year loan deal. The 18-year-old is temporarily leaving North London in order to further develop himself and play more regularly, and he rejected a move to Parkhead because he believes his development will be best served working under manager Gary Rowett at Millwall. Apart from Celtic, Preston North End, Swansea City, Stoke City and Bournemouth were also keen on the Spurs striker, but they will have to look elsewhere for the striking reinforcement they need. Parrott is highly rated at Tottenham despite playing just six minutes of Premier League football in 2019-20, and the club will be keeping an eye on him at Millwall. “He has qualities...

FA President has asked Southgate why Villa’s £80m star isn’t in the England squad
Aston Villa will be playing the 2020-21 season in the English Premier League after escaping relegation by a point, and they have one of their key players Jack Grealish to thank for it. The midfielder has been their best player all campaign, and it’s not a surprise that he was at the receiving end of most fouls in the top-flight. Grealish is wanted by Manchester United and Arsenal, but Villa have slapped an £80 million price on his head and it remains to be seen if anyone will be keen to meet their demands. Wherever the 24-year-old ends up plying his trade next term, playing for England at the rescheduled European Championship in the summer will remain his dream and target. Grealish has never earned a call-up to the Three Lions squad before, and it will be interesting to see if he has done ...
