REPORTS – Tottenham star Troy Parrott indirectly sent a blunt message to Spurs on his first interview at new club after Spurs exit
Troy Parrott has officially completed his move to AZ Alkmaar from Tottenham Hotspur, signing a deal worth £6.7 million after passing his medical on Friday. The Irish international is thrilled to join the Eredivisie club, describing it as the “perfect” destination for his career development.
In an interview with Voetbal International, Parrott shared his enthusiasm for the move, citing the positive feedback he received from friends and former players, including Kenzo Goudmijn. He emphasized that AZ Alkmaar is an ideal club for his growth, given his familiarity with Dutch football and life in the Netherlands from his previous loan spell.
Parrott believes that his experience last year will be beneficial as he integrates into his new team and continues to develop his skills. He mentioned that he heard many good stories about AZ Alkmaar and consulted with friends, including Goudmijn, whose insights helped influence his decision.
“I’m excited to join AZ Alkmaar, a club that I believe is perfect for my development,” Parrott said. “I’ve heard great things about the club, and I’m looking forward to taking the next steps in my career. My experience last year will be helpful as I settle into the team and continue to improve my skills.”
Parrott joined Tottenham in 2019, signing his first professional contract and making his senior debut later that year. Despite his potential, limited first-team opportunities at Spurs led to multiple loan spells, where he demonstrated his talent and gained valuable experience.
The young striker joins AZ Alkmaar following a standout loan spell at Excelsior Rotterdam last season, where he netted 17 goals and provided 5 assists in 32 appearances across all competitions. He is eager to build on his success and make a meaningful contribution to his new team.
Parrott’s move to AZ Alkmaar marks a new chapter in his career, one that he is excited to embark on. With his talent, dedication, and positive attitude, he is well-positioned to make a significant impact in the Eredivisie and beyond.
As Parrott begins his new journey with AZ Alkmaar, he is focused on continuing to learn and grow as a player. He is excited to work with the club’s coaching staff and to develop his skills in a new and challenging environment.
“I’m looking forward to getting started with AZ Alkmaar and to seeing where this new chapter in my career takes me,” Parrott said. “
