Republic of Ireland forward Troy Parrott is reportedly closing in on a switch to Real Betis, with talks between the Spanish side and AZ Alkmaar said to be at an advanced stage, according to BBC News.
The 24-year-old has built a strong reputation in the Eredivisie and has become a key figure for Ireland's frontline, catching the eye of clubs across Europe. Betis are understood to be leading the race for his signature as the transfer window edges towards its close.
Nothing has been finalised yet, but BBC News suggests a deal could be completed soon if both parties agree terms. A move to LaLiga would represent a significant step up for Parrott, offering him regular top-flight European football and a chance to test himself against elite opposition.
Further details on the fee or contract length have not been disclosed at this stage.
