Dutch Eredivise top scorer linked with move to Italian football club Napoli
Professional Italian football club Società Sportiva Calcio Napoli, commonly referred to as Napoli, has reportedly expressed interest in singing Iranian footballer Alireza Jahanbakhsh, who has been named the top goal scorer of the highest professional football league in the Netherlands, Eredivisie.
“Jahanbakhsh is a right-sided winger, but can play on both flanks and is very good both when attacking and defending,” his agent Amir Hashemi told Radio CRC.
“He is extraordinary when taking men on, in dribbling and providing assists, but despite all these characteristics as a winger, he is also a great goal-scorer too.
“I can’t say anything officially, but I know that Napoli is interested and has been tracking him for some time. I heard that two or three Napoli scouts have come to view him playing for AZ Alkmaar, but I cannot say more than that right now.
“Jahanbakhsh is very ambitious and it’ll be important for him to know he’s important for his new team. Napoli is a great club and many players would be honored to wear its jersey,” Hashemi said.
Meanwhile, HITC has suggested that Premier League football club Everton should have Jahanbakhsh on its radar.
It wrote that Everton's majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri, who is of Iranian descent, should be familiar with the 24-year-old Iranian footballer.
Moshiri, who has long been trying to hire Iranian striker Sardar Azmoun from Rubin Kazan boss Kurban Berdyev, shouldn't hold back from signing Jahanbakhsh – the first Asian top scorer of a major European football league.
