Ireland striker Parrott completes transfer to Real Betis
Troy Parrott has sealed a move to Spanish side Real Betis from AZ Alkmaar, it has been confirmed.
Troy Parrott has officially moved from AZ Alkmaar to Real Betis in Spain, with the reported transfer fee around €20m. The Ireland striker reportedly expressed a preference for Betis after weeks of speculation. West Ham United's pursuit of Parrott fell through as they opted for Joel Piroe instead. Parrott signed a five-year contract with Betis, which will extend until 2031.
The club announced his arrival on Thursday evening. Betis, who finished fifth in La Liga last season, will participate in the Champions League next term. The Dubliner previously played for Spurs and on loan at Excelsior Rotterdam. His international form has significantly contributed to his rise, including scoring both goals in Ireland's 2-0 win over Portugal and a hat-trick, including a last-minute winner, in a 3-2 victory against Hungary.
