Tehran Times - Greek giant Olympiacos showed interest in signing Iranian rising star Saeid Ezatolahi, the local media reported.

Ezatolahi’s contract with Rostov expired at the end of 2016 and he is weighing up his offers.  

The 20-year-old defensive midfielder has caught the eye of Anderlecht, Panathinaikos, Hamburg, Persepolis, Stoke City and an unnamed Chinese team.

Ezatolahi made headlines when he became the youngest player to appear in the Iranian Pro League and, at international level, he went on to be the youngest person to score for his country.

He ended up at Rostov in Russia via Atletico Madrid but, at 20, he has been keen for more game time.
