Loading...Transfermarkt – ALKMAAR, With 11 goals and 10 assists in 24 league games Alireza Jahanbakhsh is one of the most successful scorers of the Dutch Eredivisie.
The 24-year-old offensive player of AZ Alkmaar confirms his good performance from the preseason and plays more and more in the focus of larger clubs.
The Iranian, who is one of the hopefuls of his national team at the World Cup in Russia, has specific ideas about where he would like to play in the future. “With players like Ali Daei, Vahid Hashemian and Ali Karimi, who all played for Bayern Munich, I used to play football myself. The Bundesliga is my dream league, “he told the” Algemeen Dagblad”.
Jahanbakhsh, who has been playing in the Netherlands since 2013 and moved from NEC Nijmegen to Alkmaar in 2015 for € 1.8m, has another contract until 2020. However, Felix Keuerleber, Transfer Market Area Manager Netherlands, sees him “matured and ready” enough for the next step. “For me, he is one of the few players of the Eredivisie, which I would absolutely trust a leap into the Bundesliga. His development is similar to that of Sébastien Haller, although of course, he is a completely different type of player.”
Keuerleber describes Jahanbakhsh as a player, “who brings extremely good assets. He combines dribbling, flanks, a good finish with tackling strength and generally an absolute winning mentality. He also leaves him on the pitch for a bad day, as he is always good for a decisive action.”
