Troy Parrott was a second-half substitute as he helped AZ Alkmaar win the Netherlands Super Cup on what could be his last appearance for the side.<\/p>\n
The Dubliner came off the bench to play 45 minutes in a 4-0 victory over PSV.<\/p>\n
Mexx Meerdink scored on 25 minutes with Weslley Patati, Elijah Dijkstra and Ro-Zangelo Daal netting in the second period at the Phillips Stadium.<\/p>\n
Parrott has been linked with a host of clubs in the last 48 hours.<\/p>\n
English Championship side West Ham United are the latest side said to be considering a move for the Republic of Ireland striker.<\/p>\n
Fulham, Dutch clubs Ajax and PSV, the side AZ hammered today, have expressed interest.<\/p>\n
Spanish outfit Real Betis and Serie A’s Como are also in the mix, while Everton had also been linked last month.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old has scored 51 goals in 96 appearances since joining AZ Alkmaar two years ago.<\/p>\n
While Parrott’s club form has been eye-catching, his international achievements have opened up even more potential avenues with the brace against Portugal and hat-trick versus Hungary making headlines around the world.<\/p>\n
The fee for the front man could be over \u20ac25m, particularly given the level of interest. Former club Tottenham Hotspur will claim a percentage of the sale as part of the agreement which saw him move to Alkmaar.<\/p>\n
AZ begin their league season next Saturday at home to Den Haag.<\/p>\n
Should a move come to pass this week, Parrott at least signed off in style with his team winning the Johan Cryuff Shield in emphatic fashion this afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Troy Parrott was a second-half substitute as he helped AZ Alkmaar win the Netherlands Super Cup on what…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":581206,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-581205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=581205"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581205\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/581206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=581205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=581205"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=581205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
