Manor Solomon’s move to West Ham United appears to be getting closer, but Tottenham’s net spend this summer could be reduced even further by another one of their London rivals’ pursuit.
Manor Solomon’s agent has already confirmed that he will be leaving Spurs permanently, after spending the last two seasons on loan at Leeds, Villarreal and Fiorentina.
According to some reports over the weekend, the Israel international is now on the verge of joining West Ham, with the winger set to boost their quest to bounce straight back up to the Premier League.
A former Spurs man has also emerged as a late target for the East London club, and the Lilywhites will be paying close attention.
West Ham preparing offer for former Tottenham striker Troy Parrott
According to a report in The Daily Mail (as relayed by Claret & Hugh), West Ham are now turning their attention to Tottenham academy graduate Troy Parrott.
The Republic of Ireland international has had a couple of outstanding seasons for AZ Alkmaar since swapping Spurs for the Eredivisie side.
He has now emerged as West Ham’s top striker target as they look to add more firepower to their squad ahead of the Championship season.
It is alleged that the Hammers are now ready to make an offer of around £15m for Parrott, for whom Tottenham have retained a 20 per cent sell-on clause.
How much Spurs stand to gain from Parrott’s proposed move to West Ham?
It is unclear if West Ham’s bid will be enough to clinch the deal for the Republic of Ireland international, with the Mail stating that Alkmaar value the striker at £27m.
If Nuno Espirito Santo’s men succeed with their £15m opening offer for Parrott, Tottenham would stand to receive £3m from that fee.
If AZ hold out for £27m and their asking price is eventually met, Spurs will stand to earn £5.4 from the striker’s transfer.
