TEHRAN (Dispatches) - Alireza Jahanbakhsh has been linked with a summer transfer to Leicester City.
The AZ Alkmaar winger has been reportedly pinpointed by Leicester as its preferred replacement for Riyad Mahrez, who this week departed for Manchester City in a £60million move.
Some outlets go as far to say Jahanbakhsh is set to fly to England to undergo a medical with a €22m (£19.5m) offer accepted.
The 24-year-old is hot property after a superb campaign for AZ, scoring 21 goals in 33 games from the right wing to finish as the Eredivisie’s top scorer. He also provided 12 assists.
