    West Ham are one of a number of clubs being linked with a move for Norweigan international Jonathan Parr.The
    distinctly English-sounding Scandinavian is currently being touted
    around a number of British clubs and West Ham - along with Swansea,
    Leicester City and Queens Park Rangers - are amongst those said to have
    expressed an interest in capturing the 22-year-old left back.

    Talking to Norweigan TV channel TV2, Parr's agent Jim Solbakken
    confirmed that he was keen to tie up a deal for his client this week.
    "I have no comment, but I can confirm that I am in England right now to
    negotiate a deal," he said.

    Parr - who spent a brief spell on trial at Nottingham Forest in December
    of last year - is considered by many to be the second best full-back in
    Norway behind John Arne Risse, who signed for Fulham earlier today.

    A quick, left-footed player, Parr is also reknowned for his crossing
    ability. His current contract - with Aalesund of the Norweigan Premier
    League - is due to expire later this year.

    Anyone know anything about this chappie ?

    Looked a little bit around and it seems he is fighting for the spot on the Norwegian team with JAR. John says that Parr is a good defender, clever and offensive minded, but lacks experience. He is similar to John himself, he thinks. He also thinks, that he will not take the spot from him for the next couple of years.
