Tottenham transfer news: Striker ‘to undergo medical’ ahead of £6.7m move
Parrott ‘arrives in Netherlands’ for AZ medical
Following a few spells away from North London with lower-league English sides, the 22-year-old tried his hand at Eredivisie football with Excelsior Rotterdam last season and quickly adapted to the demands of Dutch football.
Parrott ended the 2023-24 season with 17 goals and five assists from 32 matches, but his Spurs contract expires in 2025, and his exploits in the Netherlands have not been enough to convince Ange Postecoglou that he deserves a chance in the Tottenham setup.
According to football.london, the Irish attacker is now on the verge of a permanent move back to the Netherlands with AZ Alkmaar, who have agreed to pay €8m (£6.7m) for his services.
Championship teams and clubs in Italy were also understood to have taken a liking to Parrott, who was hopeful of one day making the grade at Tottenham, potentially as a long-term successor to Harry Kane.
However, the 22-year-old has experienced a rough time with injuries over the past couple of years, which prevented him from making an impression under Postecoglou last summer, and he leaves with just four senior appearances to his name.
