West Ham are exploring a potential move to sign Leeds striker Joel Piroe, talkSPORT understands. Piroe is seen as an alternative to Troy Parrott, who the Hammers have been pushing to bring to the club this summer. Piroe is an alternative striker option for West Ham amid their push for Parrott Getty The Dutch forward has been linked with an Elland Road exit this summer, having started just two Premier League games last season. Nothing is imminent at this stage, but Leeds are open to a sale or a loan with a future obligation to buy. Piroe is understood to be on high wages, so West Ham would likely have to make sure they can offer a similar number. Parrott or Piroe? West Ham have identified Piroe as a potential alternative to AZ Alkmaar and former Tottenham striker Parrott. The Hammers have been pushing hard to try and sign the Republic of Ireland international this month. He has scored 51 goals in 95 games for AZ in the Netherlands since he left Spurs and England for the Eredivisie. Parr
