AZ Alkmaar striker Troy Parrott is drawing interest from a number of sides in the summer transfer window.
After loan moves at Millwall, Ipswich Town, MK Dons and Excelsior Rotterdam, the 24-year-old made the permanent move away from Tottenham Hotspur in 2024, joining Dutch outfit AZ in a deal worth a reported £6.7m.
The Irish centre forward has enjoyed two impressive campaigns for the club, scoring 51 goals and recording 17 assists in 96 games.
Parrott's heroics in Ireland's 3-2 victory against Hungary in the World Cup qualifiers in November 2025 drew the attention of more potential suitors, and we take a look at where he could be plying his trade next season in the event that AZ do sanction a sale this summer.
West Ham
West Ham are reportedly amongst the clubs keen on signing Parrott this summer.
The Hammers have raised in excess of £130m in player sales this window, but they're yet to reinvest and Nuno Espirito Santo's squad is in need of repair as they look to book a one-way ticket back to the top-flight.
Niclas Fullkrug -- who has been heavily linked with a move away from the club -- and Valentin Castellanos are West Ham's primary centre forward options with less than two weeks to go before their season opener against Burnley, while January addition Pablo, who is a striker by trade, has seen the majority of his minutes come as an attacking midfielder in East London.
While Parrott is set to receive offers from top-flight clubs, the propsect of leading the line on a weekly basis for Championship favourites West Ham could prove enticing.
Fulham
Fulham reportedly retain an interest in Parrott, in spite of Gonzazo Garcia's imminent arrival from Real Madrid in a deal worth €42m.
Only Harry Wilson and Raul Jimenez scored more than nine goals for the Cottagers in the 2025/26 Premier League season, with Alex Iwobi the club's next highest goalscorer in the top-flight with four.
Both Wilson and Jimenez departed on free transfers in the summer, and so the club's need for goals under the stewardship of new manager Alvaro Arbeloa is glaring.
Parrott boasts just under 6,000 minutes of top-flight football at just 24-year-old and could prove a shrewd addition to rival marquee signing Garcia for the starting centre forward role.
Ajax
It's no surprise that Ajax -- the most successful club in the Netherlands -- are interested in signing one of the Eredivisie's most in form centre forwards.
The Irishman boasts an impressive record against 36-time top-flight winners, scoring five goals in six appearances against the club -- three of which came in AZ's 6-0 victory in the KNVB Beker round of 16 in the 2025/26 campaign.
Ajax's Eredivisie title drought was extended to four seasons when PSV lifted the trophy last time out, but the return of a prolific number nine at the Johan Cruyff Arena could aid their revival.
Real Betis
Amongst the clubs eager to add Parrott to their front line are La Liga side Real Betis.
The Seville-based outfit enjoyed an impressive 2025/26 season in Spain's top-flight, finishing fifth in the standings and qualifying for the UEFA Champions League.
The prospect of European football of the highest order is something that few interested parties will be able to guarantee Parrott, and so Real Betis may have the upper hand in negotiations from that perspective.
They do face strong competition for the striker however, and it may take a bidding war to determine the fee that AZ will receive for his signature.
