HITC – GLASGOW, Four\u00a0Premier League\u00a0clubs,\u00a0Leicester\u00a0City,\u00a0West Ham United, Mikel Arteta’s\u00a0Arsenal,\u00a0and Carlo Ancelotti’s\u00a0Everton, reportedly want\u00a0Sardar Azmoun.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sardar Azmoun is more technically gifted than \u00a353 million Italy international Andrea Belotti and ready for a big move this summer, Massimo Carrera has said of the reported Everton, Arsenal and\u00a0West Ham\u00a0United target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A man who shot to fame with Rubin Kazan, earning that famed \u2018Iranian Messi\u2019 moniker, could be on his way to one of Europe\u2019s biggest leagues for the very first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to\u00a0AreaNapoli, West Ham and\u00a0Leicester City\u00a0have made contact over a potential \u00a330 million deal for Azmoun.\u00a0The same publication\u00a0also mentions Everton and Arsenal as a prospective destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how does Azmoun compare to the old-school bull of a number nine that is Belotti, the\u00a0\u00a353 million-rated\u00a0Torino captain who has also been linked with a big-money move to English shores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe can become a champion. Great talent, he lacks a bit of malice but he is really strong, he has technique, quality,\u201d Carrera, a former Juventus and Italy coach who saw Azmoun in the flesh during his time in charge of Spartak Moscow, tells\u00a0Nicolo Schira on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/strong>He is a striker who scores goals, quick, with a strong head. He has made an excellent impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCompared to Belotti? He has something more technical than Belotti.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 6ft 1ins and with a penchant for brilliantly taken headers, Azmoun certainly appears to have the physicality to thrive in English football. He has netted an impressive 26 goals in 45 games too since joining Zenit St Petersburg in January 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains to be seen, however, which if any of the four Premier League suitors win the race for his sought-after signature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
