Leeds United are looking to strengthen their attacking line-up during the January transfer window and have identified Troy Parrott as a target.
According to a report from De Telegraaf, an offer of around £16 million could be enough to seal a deal. Los Blancos certainly have the financial wherewithal to pay him that amount.
Meanwhile, West Ham are also interested in Parrott.
Leeds could use Troy Parrott
The 23-year-old striker had a successful spell with AZ Alkmaar and the Irish national team. The striker recently scored twice against Portugal and scored a hat-trick against Hungary. Additionally, he has scored 14 goals in 13 games for the Dutch national team this season.
The player is in great form at the moment and it’s no wonder Leeds United are keen on him. A return to English football could be an exciting opportunity for him. He has not been able to show his true potential at Tottenham and may feel he has unfinished business in English football.
A move to Leeds could be ideal for Parrott.
Leeds United could provide him with the platform he needs. It’s no secret that they need more quality and depth in the final third. Signing a striker could be ideal for them. Leeds need to strengthen their squad in January if they are to survive in the top flight. They have had a poor start to the season and are currently in a relegation battle.
Parrott can help improve the team’s offensive line and will be able to consistently score goals for the team. If he can do well at Leeds, he could get the chance to play for a bigger club in the future. The 23-year-old will no doubt be attracted to the idea of joining an English club. If a concrete proposal is presented. It will be interesting to see if the Dutch team is ready to sell the player midway through the season.
