Troy Parrott revealed in an interview with Voetbal International that he previously declined an opportunity to join Celtic. Parrott stated that after trials with several clubs, he had to choose between Spurs, Everton, Wolves, and Celtic, and ultimately chose Tottenham.

Celtic and West Ham are said to be interested in signing AZ striker Troy Parrott, while Everton and Leeds are also understood to be monitoring the situation. Parrott insisted he was not considering a mid-season move, stating he is progressing well and is fully focused on the team's goals. It is thought that AZ would demand a fee greater than the player's €18.3m estimated value, and his former club Tottenham are also believed to have a sell-on clause.
