West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing Troy Parrott from AZ Alkmaar this summer, with the Irish striker's impressive form in the Netherlands attracting attention from several Premier League clubs. The 24-year-old has scored 51 goals in just 95 appearances for the Eredivisie side since signing in 2024, and his impressive goal-scoring record has caught the eye of West Ham United's manager, Nuno Espirito Santo.
What's the latest on Troy Parrott's transfer?
Parrott is on the shortlist at the London Stadium, but could require a very hefty price. The former Tottenham striker has certainly emerged as a goalscoring talent since moving to the Netherlands, and his impressive form has prompted interest in the market as many sides go in search of a new forward.
Why is West Ham United interested in Troy Parrott?
The Hammers are certainly one of those as Nuno Espirito Santo goes in search of fresh attacking options. Parrott could cost the E20 outfit upwards of £20million, a fee which could put many competitors off making a move, but not the Hammers.
What's the context for West Ham United's transfer window?
With West Ham United currently sitting 17th in the Premier League table, 33 points from 33 games, and a recent form of DWLDW, the club is looking to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season. The team has scored 40 goals this season, but conceded 57, resulting in a -17 goal difference.
What's next for West Ham United's transfer window?
If the Hammers can get all those deals over the line, on top of other links like Arne Engels and Morgan Whittaker, it could take spending to close to £80m. That could go well clear of the most money spent in one window by a Championship team after Aston Villa spent a reported £74m in 2016.
