Troy Parrott has sealed a move to Spanish side Real Betis from AZ Alkmaar.

Multiple reports say the fee is in the region of €20m for the former Belvedere player.

The Republic of Ireland striker is said to have intimated that the La Liga outfit were his preferred destination after weeks of speculation.

A transfer to English side West Ham United broke down in recent days as they moved on to Leeds United striker Joel Piroe.

Parrott landed in Seville this afternoon and signed a five-year contract that will run until 2031, with Betis announcing his arrival on Thursday evening.

Having finished in fifth place in La Liga last season, Betis will be playing Champions League football in the 2026/27 season – a factor that is believed to have swayed Parrott’s desire to make the move.

The Dubliner joined Alkmaar just over two years ago from Spurs having enjoyed a previous loan stint at another Dutch side, Excelsior Rotterdam.

International form has played a big role in the rise of the former Tottenham Hotspur man.

Parrott scored both goals in Ireland’s 2-0 win over Portugal in World Cup qualifying and three days later scored a sensational a hat-trick – including a last-gasp winner – in a 3-2 win away to Hungary.
