Fulham are among the clubs exploring a move for Troy Parrott this summer, with TALKSPORT reporting growing interest in the AZ Alkmaar striker ahead of a potentially busy market.

PSV’s recent domestic dominance adds further appeal, particularly for a player who may now feel ready to challenge for major honours.
Real Betis and Como are also in the picture. Betis can present Champions League football, while Como’s rapid rise under Cesc…
