Aston Villa Could Sign Mehdi Taremi


TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Aston Villa needs to sign a firepower and the English team could sign Iranian forward Mehdi Taremi.

Eighteen goals for an impressive Rio Ave side have put paid to that question though, with Taremi finally delivering in a top European League after years of administrative nightmares destroyed his chances of a Turkish move years ago.

Jumping from Iran to Portugal's top-tier didn't clip Taremi's wings, either, and the powerful and dynamic center-forward has earned his way onto the transfer rumor mill, birminghammail.co.uk reported.

His age (28) and history might dent his value in a crowded transfer market, but whomever makes the effort to land Taremi will find a striker looking to make up for lost-time in a big way.

Making just two assists, Taremi finds himself succeeding as the focal point of a team. He seems to have all the tools to make a big step up in the near future.
