Daniel Arzani

Daniel Arzani of Melbourne Victory was born in Khorramabad, Iran on 4 January 1999 (age 26).

Daniel Arzani was born on 4th January 1999 in Iran and is currently 26 years of age. He's a forward by occupation, who primarily fulfils the role of a right winger for Melbourne Victory. He is 5 ft 7 in (1.71 metres) tall and weighs a solid 11st 6lb (73kg). Arzani can be found wearing the number 7 jersey. In addition to club play, he has also represented the Australia U23 national team.

According to Transfermarkt, his current market value hovers around the margin of €500k, which converts roughly to around £425,000. His contract with Melbourne Victory is due to expire on 30th June 2025 and currently carries a remaining term of 1 month.

Arzani's football journey began in July 2016 when he signed for Melbourne City in the A-League as a trainee. During his debut season (2016/17) at Melbourne, he made six first-team appearances. The following season, he furthered his progress by marking 16 first-team appearances and scoring two goals.

In August 2018, his journey took a new turn when Arzani made a transfer to Manchester City in the English Premier League for an undisclosed fee. Soon thereafter, he took a loan transfer to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership for the 2018/19 season. His time at Celtic was limited, making only a singular first team appearance.

Arzani's journey was far from over, as his next move saw him transferred again on loan to FC Utrecht in the Netherlands Eredivisie during the 2020/21 season. Limited appearances followed, with a tally of four first-team appearances.

January 2021 marked Arzani's next move, a loan transfer to AGF Aarhus in Denmark's Superliga. His tenure was short, resulting in three first-team appearances. His next destination was Lommel in the Belgian Challenger Pro League in August 2021, again on loan.

Returning to Australia, Arzani transferred to Macarthur FC in the A-League in July 2022. His successful tenure saw him make 19 appearances and score a single goal. By July 2023, Arzani returned home to Melbourne Victory. He flourished in the familiar environment, making 27 first-team appearances and scoring 4 goals in the 2023/24 season. Presently, in the 2024/25 season, Arzani has made 25 first-team appearances and scored three goals.
