RSC Anderlecht chasing the talented Allahyar Sayyadmanesh.

With a lot more financial resources under their arm, Anderlecht will soon start the final catch-up movement. In the coming months, more quality players can therefore be expected in the Lotto Park and preferably on a permanent basis. Allahyar Sayyadmanesh is a 20-year-old top talent who is already being linked to a Sporting. It is not a very expensive deal, but promising all the more .RSC Anderlecht was looking for stability and sustainability in the player core in the past summer Mercato, but due to the financial limitations, Sporting still had to resort to four mercenaries. In the attacking line, Joshua Zirkzee (Bayern Munich) and Christian Kouamé (Fiorentina) were loaned out, both without a purchase option, so the Belgian champion will have to look for at least two new strikers next season.
Anderlecht will be able to start that search with a lot more capital. Main shareholder Marc Coucke converts 51.5 million euros of debt into capital. In addition, chairman Wouter Vandenhaute and Geert Duyck put another 24 million euros on the table to offer Sporting better financial and sporting prospects. In this way, only one bank loan of 10 million euros remains open.

That financial rescheduling has not taken place, but by the next summer, Mercato Anderlecht will be able to reap the benefits.

Peter Verbeke will then be able to enter the transfer market with a lot more financial resources compared to the past Mercato. Not coincidentally, Sporting is already being linked to multiple transfer targets. The most recent target is Allahyar Sayyadmanesh, a high-scoring striker from Zorya Luhansk.

INDISPENSABLE
Allahyar Sayyadmanesh is under contract with the Turkish club Fenerbahce, but the 20-year-old Iranian striker was loaned out to Zorya Luhansk in October last year for a season and a half.
Sayyadmanesh is doing very well in Ukraine, where he has scored six times and provided two assists in twelve league games this season. With these eight decisive actions, Sayyadmanesh is the most decisive player in the Premier League after Viktor Tsygankov (Dinamo Kyiv) today.
Zorya Luhansk wants their center-forward, who is also remarkably often played as a left-winger this season, but would like to tie them to them permanently. In the loan contract with Fenerbahce, a buyout price of 3.5 million euros was agreed, but that amount is too high for the club from eastern Ukraine. Allahyar Sayyadmanesh is seen as an indispensable link in the team of coach Viktor Skrypnyk, and not only because of his goals.

The Ukrainian press describes Allahyar Sayyadmanesh as the real leader and booster of Zorya Luhansk, despite his youthful age of barely 20 springs.


Sayyadmanesh guides his team through difficult moments, such as his two European winning goals against Leicester City and CSKA Sofia. As a result, the club and its fans are hugely disappointed that Sayyadmanesh will return to Fenerbahce at the end of the contract  at the end of December

EUROPEAN TOP TALENTS
For Zorya Luhansk, the lifting of the purchase option amounting to 3.5 million euros is impossible, so that the club will soon see their top scorer leave for Turkey.
However, the general expectation is that Allahyar Sayyadmanesh will not stay at Fenerbahce for long, but will make the switch to another European club. Anderlecht is mentioned, but also PSV, Torino FC, and Shakhtar Donetsk are reportedly lurking for him.

Ukrainian media have already written that the departure of Allahyar Sayyadmanesh will be a big blow for Zorya Luhansk.
The 20-year-old confirms with great success his status as one of the great European talents. The Guardian even included Sayyadmanesh in a prestigious list in 2018 as one of the sixty best young talents in the world. He was tipped by the British quality newspaper as a player for the next generation and in their latest update this month Sayyadmanesh is tipped to make a nice transfer very quickly.

In the list of sixty greatest European talents of The Guardian, Allahyar Sayyadmanesh ended up in the handsome company of Nicolas Raskin (then AA Gent, now Standard Liège), Rodrygo Goes (then Santos, now Real Madrid), Mason Greenwood (Manchester United), Curtis Jones (Liverpool), Myron Boadu (then AZ Alkmaar, now AS Monaco), Eric Garcia (then Manchester City, now FC Barcelona)

GETTING STARTED WITH KOMPANY
Given the enormous potential of Allahyar Sayyadmanesh and his great recent performances at Zorya Luhansk, it is therefore not surprising that he has ended up on Anderlecht’s radar.
The right-footed attacker possesses some high-quality qualities such as the finish, physical strength, and heading ability. His positioning, speed, ball stability, and ball controls are also very sound. At the age of 20, Sayyadmanesh is obviously not yet a finished product, but with Vincent Kompany, Anderlecht has the ideal coach today to refine his work points and further perfect his great strengths.

PSV expresses interest in Jahanbakhsh

EINDHOVEN – After the arrival of Kostas Mitroglou, PSV wants a player for the attack, to solidify its formation in Europe ahead of a long season and, above all, to take on the title battle with Ajax. PSV plays chess on several boards at the same time, the main candidates being the Japanese Ritsu Doan and Iranian Alireza Jahanbakhsh, the man who was the top scorer of the Eredivisie at AZ more than a year ago. The managers of Eindhoven are just waiting for the last week before the transfer deadline to make their move.

The Argentinian Nicolas Ivan Gonzalez of VfB Stuttgart was the number two on the list behind Doan of FC Groningen. PSV had done their preliminary work with his agent, but when he reported back to his club, the answer was clear: Silence. PSV knows from previous experiences with Feyenoord striker Steven Berghuis this transfer summer what that could mean. A transfer fee that the club does not want to pay or a negotiation that will last far too long for comfort, which is a risk the club cannot take now.

Japanese Doan has long been number one, but PSV will not pay the hefty transfer fee demanded by FC Groningen. The club demands an amount towards the fourteen million euros plus a substantial resale percentage. PSV had a maximum of eight million euros in mind plus some extras. That gap is too big, Doan’s business manager is trying to get the northerners to agree on a more reasonable fee.

Jahanbakhsh is the (cheaper) alternative. PSV wants to take the Iranian international on loan for a year from his club Brighton & Hove Albion and hopes to hear soon whether he will be released.

So far the managers of Eindhoven were told that Jahanbakhsh the right-winger transferred from AZ last year for 25 million euros is not available for the loan. Current manager Graham Potter plays in a 5-3-2 system, Jahanbakhsh a wing-back. However, for the third time in a row against Southampton Jahanbakhsh was not in the squad, which could offer an opening in the last week of the transfer window for his transfer. That he hardly played for a year is not a big problem for PSV. Jahanbakhsh was a top player in the Eredivisie, knows what is being asked from him and is above all a different type of attacker than the club has in-house.

Marc von Bommel

For example, PSV has Mohamed Ihattaren and Gaston Pereiro, when he returns in two months from a fracture of the collarbone, have the passers and creative players who could play the role intended for Doan from the right. PSV looks at players who are complementary to each other and offer extra possibilities in the way of playing within the current selection. Jahanbakhsh does not only bring scoring ability, but he could also serve the (incoming) goal-getter Mitroglou (in phases) with his moves.

If coach Mark van Bommel wants to use Doan at ‘ten’, Bergwijn can move to the place where he grew into as an international player (on the flank). Only Doan has played most of his matches in Groningen from the right and he immediately gets a big responsibility at a top club, with a hefty price tag around his neck. Again, one that PSV does not want to comply with. If the situation remains the same and if Jahanbakhsh is kept to his contract with Brighton, PSV will act towards the next candidate in the last days before the deadline.

PSV scouting for top Iranian talent: Younes Delfi

With pen and paper in hand and dozens of scouts gasping in the neck, Voetbalzone scours the international fields every week. Who are the stars of the future, which talents should absolutely be watched? Our next target: Younes Delfi, who will join PSV within the foreseeable future.

By Tim Siekman

The Iran’s Under-17 team started well  on the bright side in October 2017 at the  FIFA U-17 World Cup by defeating Guinea 3-1. A great achievement, but also factored in. The Asian talents in the group phase would give a much heavier blow to the might of Germany, whom with  their star forward Jann-Fiete Arp had a well-coveted diamond in the making . The top striker of Hamburger SV scored five times in five matches at the final tournament in India and took his team to the quarter finals of the World Championship.

An interesting clash was therefore expected in advance, again with a possible leading role for Arp, who is on the radar of Bayern Munich.  however It went differently. In the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi, Germany was outclassed by Iran. The 4-0 loss of that Mannschaft meant the breakthrough of Younes Delfi on the international podium. The seventeen-year-old right winger took his team by the hand and after six minutes broke through the doctrine, via defender Jan Boller, by placing the ball between the legs of goalkeeper Luca Plogmann.

Plogmann then faced a barrage of attacks. Just before halftime, Delfi again struck: the fast winger hit the spot with the help of Mohammad Sharifi’s assist. After the break, the top talented boy from Khuzestan produced an assist for Allahyar Sayyad,  and later Vahid Namdari sealed the match with the fourth goal for Iran and the final score ended 4-0 to Team Melli. With that impressive win over Germany, the name of Delfi was definitively established. Several clubs in Europe have lauded scouting reports of the Iranian in the drawer, including Besiktas, but it was PSV that has taken the initiative.

PSV

Delfi is on his way to the PSV Eindhoven, as recently confirmed by director Amir Soltani. The seventeen-year-old attacker is plucked for a fee of 550,000 euros from Esteghlal Khuzestan, which also stipulated a sale percentage of 20 percent. Soltani recently said that the deal is as good as done and that ‘the last details’ still have to be discussed. From mid-August, Delfi will try to repeat his excellent form and shine with the Under-23 team of Iran at the Asian Games  2018 in Indonesia, and the youngster will later officially join PSV, probably in January.

Last March, Delfi, who incidentally also can play as an attacking midfielder, were planned to join Eindhoven training camp together with Taha Shariati. The two youth internationals would train with the Under-19 team, which at the time was led by Mark van Bommel, currently head coach of the national champion. Delfi, however, was not allowed to travel to the Netherlands, but now he  can make the step. He can sign a professional contract with PSV on his birthday on 2 October.

Delfi’s excellent performance at the Youth World Cup against Germany, according to him, was partly due to a close preparation that he carried out together with his offensive partner and roommate Sayyad. “We watched a lot of videos from the U17  team of Germany and knew what they had to offer. We have analyzed them down to the smallest detail and from this we drew our conclusions “, says Delfi, who ended up in the loosing side in the quarter finals with a defeat against Spain, in an interview with New Indian Express .

Cristiano Ronaldo

In Iran, people are convinced that the youth can handle top football in Europe in the future. “Being a regular player in Persian Gulf Pro League is a blessing for the team,” said team manager Amir Sedighi last October. “He is a valuable addition, both for his club and country.” Since his debut for Esteghlal Khuzestan, Delfi has been labeled by various media as ‘prodigy’. After ‘only’ six appearances in the 2016/17 season, the winger was awarded almost every game of play minutes the following year. In total, the dribbler has 32 appearances in the club so far, with 7 goals and 1 assist under his name.

Delfi is determined to once again draw attention to the Asian Games. The talented player remains ambitious, despite all the praise that has already been awarded to him. “My goals are not based on my performance. I expect more from myself, “Delfi said recently in an interview with varzesh3 . Delfi has had a good time at the club where he played since his early youth, but acknowledges that the move to Europe is very tempting. “My ambitions are very big: I want to exchange Esteghlal Khuzestan for Europe to eventually play for top clubs.”

The attacker is praised for his speed, his technique, his dribbles and his urge to constantly look for one-to-one situations. Delfi does not turn his hand around for the dirty work and is willing to make runs for his teammates. The 17-year-old gem considers Cristiano Ronaldo as his idol. The five-time winner of the Ballon d’Or often says that hard work is the basis for success and that opinion is also attributed to Delfi: “To be even in the shadow of Ronaldo, I have to work very hard, I know that. But my goal is to become better than Ronaldo. one  of theses days. “
