Troy Parrott was a second-half substitute as he helped AZ Alkmaar win the Netherlands Super Cup on what could be his last appearance for the side. The Dubliner came off the bench to play 45 minutes in a 4-0 victory over PSV. Mexx Meerdink scored on 25 minutes with Weslley Patati, Elijah Dijkstra and Ro-Zangelo Daal netting in the second period at the Phillips Stadium. Parrott has been linked with a host of clubs in the last 48 hours. English Championship side West Ham United are the latest side said to be considering a move for the Republic of Ireland striker. Fulham, Dutch clubs Ajax and PSV, the side AZ hammered today, have expressed interest. Spanish outfit Real Betis and Serie A's Como are also in the mix, while Everton had also been linked last month. The 24-year-old has scored 51 goals in 96 appearances since joining AZ Alkmaar two years ago. While Parrott's club form has been eye-catching, his international achievements have opened up even more potential avenues with the brace against Portugal and hat-trick versus Hungary making headlines around the world. The fee for the front man could be over €25m, particularly given the level of interest. Former club Tottenham Hotspur will claim a percentage of the sale as part of the agreement which saw him move to Alkmaar. AZ begin their league season next Saturday at home to Den Haag. Should a move come to pass this week, Parrott at least signed off in style with his team winning the Johan Cryuff Shield in emphatic fashion this afternoon.
