According to Voetbal International, AZ will pay Heracles more than 4.6 million euro to sign 27-year-old Dutch striker Jizz Hornkamp. The publication states the acquisition is intended to anticipate a potential summer departure of Troy Parrott. Parrott is reportedly attracting significant interest from foreign clubs following his recent performance with his national team. Another factor is that fellow striker Mexx Meerdink is not expected to be available until late February or early March due to an injury. After all parties reach an agreement, Hornkamp will undergo a medical examination in Alkmaar. The transfer fee is said to be a record amount for Heracles. In the Eredivisie this season, Hornkamp has scored 10 goals and provided 1 assist in 14 appearances. His contract with Heracles is set to expire on June 30, 2026, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €1.50m.
