Mehdi Taremi, Islamic Republic of Iran

Striker Mehdi Taremi follows a long line of top class attacking players who have passed through the ranks of Persepolis while also showcasing their talents for Iran’s national team on the Asian stage.

Taremi can play as an out-and-out striker or on the left side of the attack, as he often does for the national team in support of Sardar Azmoun, and his eye for goal has seen him excel in this year’s AFC Champions League.
