Football Tribe: Taremi has been brilliant for Persepolis, Iran National Team

Tasnim – SAPPORO, While he did not play the last three months of the year for Persepolis due to a FIFA-imposed suspension regarding his 2016 transfer from Turkey’s Caykur Rizespor, Taremi has been brilliant for both his club and country this year.

The 25-year-old scored 18 goals in the 2016-17 season, topping the Persian Gulf Pro League’s scoring table for a second straight time.

He also scored seven goals in the Champions League on the way to the Reds’ first semifinal appearance in 15 years, football-tribe.com reported.

Taremi’s brilliant national team performances, which included six goals against Qatar and China, were a key factor in Iran’s easy qualification for Russia 2018.
