The London club has instead switched its focus to signing Joël Piroe from Leeds United, with the transfer reportedly in its final stages. This development has significant implications for Parrott, who was initially being pursued by West Ham United. The Hammers had made a substantial bid for the Irish striker, but were unable to meet AZ's asking price.
Voetbal International reported earlier that Piroe was close to completing a transfer to London, and it appears that West Ham United has now secured a deal for the Leeds United player. Meanwhile, Parrott's future remains uncertain, with several other clubs also interested in signing him. FC Porto and RB Leipzig were previously linked with a move for the striker, and PSV has also inquired about his services, although it is unlikely that they will be able to meet the transfer price of 25 million euros.
The transfer of Piroe is expected to be completed in the coming weeks, while Parrott's future remains up in the air.
