Everton and Leeds United are reportedly interested in signing 23-year-old Irish striker Troy Parrott from Eredivisie club AZ Alkmaar next year.

Troy Parrott has done quite well for club and country this season, and his performances have attracted the attention of multiple Premier League clubs. Along with Everton and Leeds United, Crystal Palace are now interested in securing his signature as well.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, the three Premier League clubs are hoping to bring the former Tottenham Hotspur prospect to the Premier League in the coming months. Parrott scored five goals against Portugal and Hungary in his last two outings for his country, thus taking the Republic of Ireland to the playoffs for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Everton could certainly use a quality striker like Troy Parrott. Beto has not been able to perform at a high level, and Thierno Barry has blown hot and cold. The Toffees will be pushing for a place in the top half this season. Signing a quality striker in January could make a big difference.

Parrott is in impressive form right now, and he will feel that he can make an immediate impact in the Premier League. The former Tottenham prospect has unfinished business in English football, and he will be tempted to return if the right opportunity presents itself.

Meanwhile, Leeds United are pushing for survival in the Premier League. They need more goals to remain in the top flight beyond the 2025/26 season. The 23-year-old striker could prove to be a defining acquisition for them, and he could help them secure safety.

Finally, Crystal Palace are interested in Troy Parrott as well. Jean-Philippe Mateta has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months, and the AZ Alkmaar star could be a quality long-term alternative. It will be interesting to see which of the three clubs can get the deal done.

AZ Alkmaar will not want to lose a key player like him easily, but they will be under pressure if the Irish striker decides to force an exit. A move to the Premier League will be hard to turn down for him. He will be attracted to the idea if there is a concrete proposal on the table. All three clubs could prove to be attractive destinations for him. It remains to be seen where he ends up.
