Alireza Jahanbakhsh @ AZ Alkmaar | 2017 - 2018

[siz]

What is his fitness situation with his hamstrings? http://www.persianfootball.com/news/...string-injury/

A none issue, was just a knock. He played the week after and played 16 consecutive games after the knock, including friendlies and WC: https://www.whoscored.com/Players/13...za-Jahanbakhsh

It will be announced between 5pm-8pm GMT.
It’s all sorted.

Great stuff, can't wait! The beginning of a new chapter for this talented, intelligent and humble young footballer.

Going to look into some tickets for the Amex tonight.

Algemeen Dagblad is reporting that Jahanbakhsh is on his way to the Premier League after AZ agreed on a fee of around €25 million with Brighton for the winger

€25 million seems like a lot. He will be the highest valued Iranian player ever if this is true.

TV revenues have inflated EPL prices like crazy.
No one can compete with them in terms of salary and transfer fees anymore.

People on insta saying JB is in Paris because his haj khanoom is there.

Karim and Azmoun’s comments kinda make sense now.

I didn't mean in terms of EPL. Just that AZ signed him for €1.8 mil 2 years ago. €25 million seems like a lot.

Its something to do with a work permit. Not his haj khanoom.

well at least we know he is truly wanted by the club...! they've been after him before, mind you agreeing to pay more than 4-5 times the price now than a year or 2 ago..!

any insights into Brighton as a club..? is he expected to fill the RW position for them..?

[Ararat Tehran]

Albion fans hang hopes on record-breaking transfer swoop

If Brighton is true.

I really, really wish that Morteza Pouraliganji joins him there too.

That would be incredible.

[DJPedram]

Is it confirmed?

"He's got the best set of eyebrows out of any Albion player in recent memory. Cracking couple of caterpillars there."

thats a creative dream, but has no place in reality sadly. Brighton have two very good solid starting CB's in Dunk and Duffy, and just signed Leon Balogun (Nigerian CB) on a free transfer. If PAG went there he would never play.
