Everton have reportedly added Troy Parrott to their shortlist of transfer targets. The AZ Alkmaar forward is rumoured to be attracting attention ahead of the next transfer window, with insiders claiming preliminary talks could soon take place. Everton remain optimistic, but the deal is not without hurdles. Crystal Palace and Leeds continue to monitor developments and could yet re-enter the race if negotiations stall or valuation gaps remain unresolved. Everton's 25/26 output of 1.09 goals per game is behind league levels. The addition of Troy Parrott would give them the sharper edge they're missing in front of goal. Everton have recently been linked with James Ward-Prowse while AZ Alkmaar have had no rumoured targets. Want more transfer rumours like this?
