I'm not referring to a new sponsor for Team Melli's kit 
As you may know, Reza Goochannejad is currently lying second on the goalscoring charts in the Belgian league - this is made more remarkable when you consider that his scoring exploits are for a team that is currently lying bottom of the league.
I haven't seen much of this kid except for the odd highlight video, which looks promising.
The question is: When we are so desperately looking for a striker, does he deserve a call-up to Team Melli? I think for a training camp, at least, he's worth a look.
Sure, he's not quite in the class of Dejagah, but we need to see what this kid can do and maybe give him a cap so he can't play for Belgium.
I think this case also reveals the shortcomings of identifying Iranians playing in Foreign leagues that are perhaps raised outside Iran. What can be done to improve this?
