Teenage Talent in Iran

Amraei is born 1990 and is possible the brightest prospect in Iranian football. The kid has scored six league goals this year for Zobahan, the same amount he scored last season for the Isfahan club. Amazingly the striker is playing his second season as a starter and has already been called up for Iran under Ali Daei. Amraei previously played for Iran u-17 and u-23 team where he scored two goals during the Olympic qualifiers.

Ehsan Hajsafi

Hajsafi is just as Amraei born 1990 and has also already at this young age an impressive story behind him. Hajsafi became regular last season for Sepahan under Luka Bonacic and contributed to Sepahans Asian and world journey in the AFC Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup. The teenager is left footed and has therefore been given a left wing role at times next to his natural position in central midfield. Hajsafi who now is regular under Viera covers a lot of grass both in defence and in attack and is very comfortable with the ball, as he showed of when he scored the winner against Esteghlal in the 25th round. Hajsafi is possible an even bigger subject for European top clubs than Vahid Amraei.


Mohsen Mosalman

Mosalman is astonishingly born in 1991 and is the league’s youngest goal scorer ever. His tally has now reached five goals as he’s played about half of the league games this year. He partners up with Vahid Amraei in the Zobahan attack in what is the leagues most exciting attacking line.


Omid Ravankhah

Ravankhah born in 1988 scored one goal last season for Shiraz based Fajr Sepasi before Estghlal snapped up the talented midfielder. This year he’s scored two derby goals against Perspolis among his total of five goals. Ravankhah has played for Iran u-23 team.
