Tasnim - Former Iranian striker Ali Daei said that Rubin Kazan attacker Sardar Azmoun needs to work harder to become a great player.

“Sardar still is a young player. He showed himself well at the Asian Cup in Australia and scored twice. He must concentrate to become a great player," Daei said.

"He needs to work harder,” Daei told sovsport.ru.

Arsenal is interested in signing the 20-year-old striker.

“No. we have a lot of great players in Iran. Sardar has a long way to go to reach their level,” former Persepolis coach added.
