Daniel Arzani, born on 4 January 1999 in Iran, is a 26-year-old forward who is currently sewing as a right winger for Melbourne Victory. Standing at 5ft 7in (1.71m) and weighing 11st 6lb (73kg), Arzani is a noticeable figure on the field, bearing the number 7 jersey. In addition to his club commitments, Arzani has also tested his mettle on the international stage with the Australia U23 national team.
As of current records, Arzani's market value is estimated around £430k as reported by Transfermarkt. Furthermore, his contract with Melbourne Victory is expected to reach its conclusion on 30 June 2025, implying that he has 6months remaining in his tenure with the club.
Travelling back to July 2016, Arzani's journey in professional football began when he joined Melbourne City in the A-League in Australia as a trainee. During his debut season, he managed to feature in a total of six first team league matches. The following season (2017-2018), Arzani made significant progress, securing 16 first team appearances and even scoring twice in league matches.
Then in August 2018, Arzani switched clubs, departing from Melbourne City and joining Manchester City. However, as the leaves changed, so did Arzani's future, as he was quickly loaned to Celtic in the Premiership in Scotland. His Celtic days were brief but meaningful, with Arzani making an appearance for the first team during the 2018-2019 season.
As the football calendar moved towards August 2020, Arzani found himself on loan again, this time joining FC Utrecht in the Eredivisie in Netherlands. Yet again, he was clawed away the following year, initially to AGF Aarhus in the Superliga in Denmark, and later to Lommel in the Challenger Pro League in Belgium in August 2021.
His globetrotting football career next ventured back to Australia, in July 2022, with Arzani signing for Macarthur FC. His stint at Macarthur FC witnessed him make 19 first team appearances and store a solitary goal to his name in league matches. The next year, he transferred to Melbourne Victory and from the 2023 season onward, he racked up 27 first team appearances and four goals in league matches. Currently, in the 2024-2025 season with Melbourne Victory, Arzani has already made nine first team appearances and scored one goal in league matches.
