Iran international striker Sardar Azmoun has been considered among the stars who are expected to shine at the 2019 AFC Asian Cup.

The draw for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup took place last Friday evening in Dubai. The continental tournament has been expanded from 16 to 24 teams meaning it is bigger than ever and is full of stars from all corners of Asia.

It could well be that by the time the AFC Asian Cup comes around, the Iranian striker will be a global star and fans on the continent should be hoping that this is the case. The 23 year-old has been compared to world record international goalscorer Ali Daei but the legendary marksman of the nineties never had moves like this.

Azmoun has it all: the control, the dribbling skills, the nose for goal and composed finishing skills. He also has the international experience heading to Russia as a teenager to go play for Rubin Kazan, foxsportsasia.com reported.

When January comes along, he may well have followed up on the interest expressed by some seriously big European clubs and the defenses of Iraq, Vietnam and Yemen better watch out.
