Sardar Azmoun

PLDC – Sardar Azmoun’s recent form has been hugely impressive, and should perhaps tempt Celtic to consider having another look during the summer.

The Scottish Sun reported in June 2017 that the Scottish Premiership champion was keen on Azmoun - a player that Brendan Rodgers previously had his eye on while he was at Liverpool. Ultimately however, Celtic would keep Moussa Dembele and thus, not pursue a deal for the Iran international.

Including the final game before the winter break in Russia, Azmoun has now scored five goals in his last six appearances - including three in his last two games - while he also contributed three assists in that time.

With Rodgers clearly a big fan of the forward - who, The Scottish Sun reported last year, has been dubbed the Iranian Zlatan Ibrahimovic - it would be little surprise if his current run of form had caught his eye once again.

Azmoun surely needs to maintain his current run for a while longer - but the signs certainly suggest that he is getting back to his best.
