West Ham United interested in AZ Alkmaar striker Troy Parrott | OneFootball

West Ham United are interested in signing AZ Alkmaar striker Troy Parrott this summer, according to Sky Sports.

Manager Nuno Espirito Santo is desperate for new signings and the former Spurs star is a target.

Parrott bagged 16 league goals in 28 games last term and the Hammers are not the only club keen on him.

The 24-year-old Republic of Ireland international is also wanted by Como, PSV Eindhoven, Real Betis and Ajax.

However, Ajax and PSV could be out of the race as Alkmaar are reluctant to sell him to a rival Dutch club.

Parrott has three years to run on his current contract and will not come cheap.

He also bagged 15 goals across other competitions last term and could be a huge signing for the Hammers.

A fee of around £25 million could be enough to sign him. AZ will be desperate to bank a sizeable fee as Spurs inserted a 20 percent sell-on clause in his contract.

The Irishman has Championship experience having played on loan for Millwall and Preston North End while at Tottenham.

He has scored 51 goals in 95 appearances since joining AZ two years ago, and West Ham could benefit form his output as they eye an immediate return to the Premier League.

However, Fulham are offering Parrott top-flight football, which could work against the Hammers.
