Tottenham Hotspur inserted a 20% sell-on clause into the deal when they sold Republic of Ireland hero Troy Parrott to AZ Alkmaar in the summer of 2024.
The striker has become the talk of European football in recent days after he followed up a brace in Ireland's 2-0 win against Portugal with a stunning hat-trick - including a last-gasp winner - in the 3-2 victory against Hungary on Sunday evening.
It completed a remarkable turnaround for his nation as their third successive win catapulted them into a playoff for the 2026 World Cup, a scenario which seemed impossible just a few weeks ago.
Tottenham Inserted Sell-on Clause into Parrott Exit Deal
Parrott was once tipped as the next Harry Kane at Tottenham, but after five loan spells away and a lack of first-team minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Spurs finally decided to cash in on the striker in 2024.
The north London outfit sold Parrott for £6.7m and, according to Football London, they inserted a 20% sell-on clause ahead of any potential future transfer for the 23-year-old.
That move could be on the cards sooner rather than later following his exploits at international level for Ireland, coupled with his prolific form in front of goal for AZ.
Despite some injury issues this season, Parrott has 13 goals in 14 matches for the Dutch outfit in all competitions, having scored 20 in 47 last term.
£6.7m is beginning to look like a bit of a bargain with Everton among the Premier League clubs already being linked with a move for the Irishman.
Tottenham Made Parrott Buyback Deal Decision
Away from the sell-on clause, Tottenham fans may be wondering whether they have a buyback option for Parrott too.
According to the same Football London report, Spurs don't have a buyback clause in the deal.
They do add however that because he is a homegrown player and with the 20% sell-on clause, they do have the ability to re-sign Parrott on a cut-price deal in the future should the opportunity arise.
Tottenham are - unsurprisingly - yet to find another Kane for their frontline with Dominic Solanke, Richarlison and the on-loan Randal Kolo Muani currently carrying the mantle in the centre-forward position.
If Parrott continues scoring at the rate that he is right now, he could also come back onto Spurs' radar in future transfer windows.
