It’s been claimed that the West Yorkshire outfit are also eyeing two Premier League forwards to bolster their squad in the coming months.
Farke should demand players with English top-flight experience next summer, and while the 23-year-old striker didn’t play much during his time at Spurs, he’s shown a lot of quality since moving to the Netherlands.

There was speculation surrounding Farke’s future at Elland Road, but Paraag Marathe has backed the German manager.
Now, 49ers Enterprises must show their faith in the former Norwich City boss by investing in the Whites’ squad next summer.
Joel Piroe won the Championship golden boot with 19 goals, but he’ll arguably need more support next season.

Parrott seems to be finally fulfilling his potential at AZ, impressing many with his performances in the Europa League this campaign.
