Irish international Troy Parrott is the subject of serious interest from both West Ham United and FC Porto. AZ has set an asking price of approximately thirty million euros for the striker. It is reported that West Ham is prepared to meet this fee. Besides West Ham, only FC Porto, which is Francesco Farioli's club, seems capable of affording such a high bid. While Spanish club Real Betis previously held concrete interest in the 24-year-old, they have likely withdrawn from contention. A departure appears imminent because AZ's coach Leeroy Echteld has stated he does not expect the forward to remain with the club for the current season. Parrott has 37 caps and 11 goals for Ireland. He joined AZ from Tottenham in July 2024 for a fee that was reported to be between €4 million and €8 million, and his current contract runs until 2029. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €25.00m.
