Tottenham Hotspur’s Troy Parrott has been on loan at Excelsior Rotterdam since last summer and has excelled for the Dutch club this season.
The striker has scored eight goals and registered four assists from 22 league games and his fine form hasn’t gone unnoticed elsewhere in the Eredivisie.
That’s at least what Transferwatch.nl are reporting and they took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to state the Tottenham owned player has ended up on AZ Alkmaar’s radar.
Vangelis Pavlidis is leading AZ’s attack and has starred for them this season, managing 30 goals and four assists. The 25-year-old could leave in the summer window and AZ see Parrott as his ‘possible replacement’.
It’s claimed the ‘first lines towards his employer Tottenham have been cast’, indicating the Dutch club have made first contact with Spurs over a potential deal for the 22-year-old.
Parrott, who has been out on loan over the past few years, has just over a year left on his deal at Tottenham.
Soccernews relay that and when rating Transferwatch.nl as the source via the ‘SN Reliability Meter’, they rate them ‘high’. It remains to be seen whether this claim will be backed up by others in the Dutch press and also in England.
