Iran international winger Alireza Jahanbakhsh must be a player on Everton’s radar this summer.
Jahanbakhsh finished as the top scorer in the Dutch Eredivise with 21 goals on Saturday.
The Iranian international, who looks set to star at the World Cup in Russia this summer, has enjoyed a remarkable season, becoming one of the Eredivisie’s top stars.
Even Everton’s majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri should be familiar with Jahanbakhsh. Moshiri is of Iranian descent, and Rubin Kazan boss Kurban Berdyev was quoted by the Daily Record in January as saying that Moshiri specifically asked him for Iranian striker Sardar Azmoun.
Whilst Azmoun has been labelled ‘the Iranian Messi’, it’s Jahanbakhsh who is the star of the show for Iran, and if Moshiri wants Azmoun, then he should certainly be open to landing Jahanbakhsh this summer, HITC reported.
His work on the right side would allow Theo Walcott to switch over to the left in a dangerous attack either side of Cenk Tosun, and whilst Davy Klaassen hasn’t panned out since his move from Ajax, Everton shouldn’t hold back from signing another Eredivisie star this summer – and the unheralded Jahanbakhsh should be a top target.
