Did you know?
1) Azmoun played for
several different clubs in Iran before Rubin Kazan snapped him up in December
2012. Reports in the Tehran Times claim he
rejected Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan in order to
go to the Russian Premier League.
2) The youngster arrived at
Rubin in the middle of the Russian league’s winter break, and would only play
for the club’s reserves in the remainder of the 2012/13 season. He did appear
on the bench for the first team in April, but never entered the field of play.
3) The 2013/14 has been a
different story for Azmoun. In his league debut for Rubin he
came off the bench in the 72nd minute, scored his side’s fourth goal, then won
a penalty for their fifth. In 10 league games for Rubin so far he has scored
three goals and assisted two.
4) The Iranian made his
debut in European competitions this season when he started for Rubin in a
Europa League qualifier against FK Jagodina. He made a further appearance in
the qualifying stage against Molde, scoring Rubin’s third
goal in a 3-0 win.
5) The forward has chalked
up plenty of experience with Iran at youth level, playing 14 games for their
U19s and scoring a host of goals. He has been called up by Iran’s seniors, but
has yet to make an appearance for them.
