Troy Parrott has been linked with a number of teams following his World Cup qualifying heroics against Hungary last weekend.
However, it is also his club form over the last two seasons, which has seen him score 33 goals in 60 games for AZ Alkmaar, that has sides sniffing around.
We wrote last Saturday on the interest from Everton after his two goals against Portugal, and now football and transfer journalist, Ekrem Konur, has reported that fellow Premier League clubs, West Ham and Leeds, are also interested.

Furthermore, konur has said that Stuttgart, who are currently fourth in the Bundesliga, are keeping tabs on the former Spurs player.
Ireland fans on social media have made their preference clear, warning against a return to England, while theu have been especially critical of the Hammers, where Evan Ferguson had an ill-fated stint last season.
I think it'd be great if more Irish players got exposure to football in leagues other than in England.

Hope he stays in mainland Europe. A move to Germany would be excellent

He should stay well away from PL and especially these three clubs.He is more suited to European football.

Hope he does not go back to England. Hope it’s Germany

After Sunday's hat-trick against Hungary, Parrott said:
"How many times I have watched it back? Probably about 500 times - every time I go on to my phone, it's there.
"Even last night when I got to bed, I couldn't sleep imagining it over and over and over again.
"In general, I'm not really an emotional person, it's the first time I've cried in years. Look I can sit here and try to describe it, but it is the first time I've felt something like that.
"I've scored goals before but none as meaningful as my last one against Hungary. As a country we've had a lot of disappointing results and haven't given the fans a lot to cheer about, so this was tears of joy."
