Everton rival Liverpool in chase for Sardar Azmoun

Liverpool are chasing the so called 'Iranian Messi' but Ronald Koeman's side are said to be the most recent team to be in the hunt, according to Persian Football.

The striker has caught the eye in the Champions League this season and has been an integral part of the FC Rostov's strike force since joining them on loan last year.

He scored against Ajax and Anderlecht to help Rostov reach the group stages of the Champions League this season. He also netted at Vicente Calderon to equalise against Atletico Madrid in his side's eventual 2-1 loss to the Spanish heavyweights.
