Great move, finally official now. Wish him all the best!! Guys now imagine if Ghoddos and Jahanbakhsh playing together at Brighton.. These two would kill the opponents, they're mentally super strong, both got the killer mentality, who never give up.. Ghoddos came in against Morocco in the final minutes and got us the final free kick.. And also against Portugal he tried again and again with his long shots which lead to the final occasion for Taremi.. Let's make Ghoddos' a new compilation video as well.
Jahanbakhsh is such a professional, I don't know but his work effort and mentality remembers me somehow to Ronaldo! And this is exactly the reason why I know he'll be also successful in the Premier League.. Because of his professionalism!

That's right. He wore 18 in the World Cup.

Now that he's offically Brighton's, what style will you be playing?

ARJ does his best when he's given space to run on the wings. He loves to take long shots and play give and goes (1-2 combination play).
In our national team his responsibilities are considerably different and he plays in a completely different defensive way.

Is he going to be given such opportunities?

If we play in the same way we did last season, he will be playing in the same role as Knockaert did, on the Right side of midfield in a 4-4-1-1 formation. Against the big teams and away from home he will be expected to defend more but will have room on the counter-attack, and against the weaker teams at home he should have more freedom, but will still be expected to help defend sometimes.
