West Ham make new striker move for Troy Parrott after Wilson Isidor interest | OneFootball

Sunderland Echo understands that West Ham are targeting a move for striker Troy Parrott after showing interest in Sunderland's Wilson Isidor.

The Hammers want an immediate Premier League return this season and are reinforcing after bumper sales of Mateus Fernandes and Crysencio Summerville. Their centre forward search led them to Isidor, who has two years left on his deal and was at times frustrated by limited starts last season.

After a strong finish to the campaign and the sale of Eliezer Mayenda to Stade Rennais, Sunderland have told suitors they have no intention of selling Isidor at this stage. He missed the last two games of the US tour due to a personal issue but has rejoined team-mates at the Academy of Light this week.

West Ham are now moving to try to sign Republic of Ireland international Parrott, with the 24-year-old AZ Alkmaar forward in significant demand. They are prepared to pay a significant fee and could face strong competition, a development that would appear to suggest they have moved on from Isidor.

One Sunderland player who could still head to West Ham is Simon Adingra, with an initial loan enquiry submitted this week. Sunderland are weighing up their options with the winger and are open to a departure on the right terms.
