Seems like Liverpool sent scouts to watch Azmoun against Anderlecht


Anfield scout sees striker score in Champions League

The Reds sent a scout to watch the 21-year-old forward in Rostov's Champions League third qualifying round second leg clash in Brussels. And Azmoun didn't disappoint - scoring one of Rostov's two goals on the night that sent them through to the next round with a 4-2 aggregate victory. Liverpool were not the only major club represented at the match, with Everton, Schalke, Bayer Leverkusen and Marseille also present. Everton have also been linked to the Iranian international in the past but the Anfield club have monitored him for longer and were first linked to Azmoun in January 2015, following his performances in the Asian Cup in Australia. He scored two goals during that tournament and was the subject of move talk on his return to Russia where his parent club, Rubin Kazan, were holding out for £5million bids for the young striker. Rubin loaned him out to Rostov last season, where he scored nine Russian Premier League goals in 15 starts, and extended the loan into the start of the current campaign as Rostov bid for a Champions League group stage berth.

Along with Liverpool, Leverkusen are also interested

 

Kaveh Rezaei heavily linked with Tianjin Quanjian of CSL coached by Cannavaro.

Thankfully he's just a 5th/6th striker choice for the national team right now

Seems like the Liverpool link is serious

Azmoun linked to Liverpool. I wrote this for @JustFootball almost 2 years ago when he was still with Rubin Kazan. https://t.co/tcdMX6UQpz

Olympiakos wants Ansarifard in January

Samizadeh on loan to Chorley FC (6th tier England) until end of 2016. He will still play matches with Bolton U23 (weird).

 

Ansarifard to Olympiakos almost a done deal according to Greek media!

Amazing transfer if true. Who would have thought few years ago that our 3rd choice striker would play at a UCL level team #depth

 

He deserved it, he fought himself back decently after his dry spell at Osasuna.

 

Hamed Lak (6-7th best Iranian keeper at best) has a serious offer from a Swedish team and discussing the terms of the contract with them. Sounds like he's leaving Saba Qom in the winter window

 

No more info but it's probably a lower 1st division team, considering their league's level is kinda similar to ours imo and he's already playing for a lower table team in Iran. We'll see where this goes

 

Ansarifard very close to a move to Olympiakos

 

Greek media state that it's a done deal, 18 month contract. We have to wait for more info I guess. Big move if it really happens
