Making his first stint ever in a European league. Debut season, unfamiliar with the French language at his host country, a whole set of training sessions all too foreign for an Asian player.<\/p>\n

Hence, not much was expected from Iranian Kaveh Rezaei upon his transfer to Belgian side Sporting Charleroi from Esteghlal last Summer.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to present time and the 25-year-old has already made his name known in Belgian league: Printed in bold letters.<\/p>\n

Although facing tough competition as centre-forward from his teammates Mamadou Fall and David Pollet, Kaveh Rezaei quickly leapfrogged both as Charleroi\u2019s best attacking option in the games.<\/p>\n

Having 15 games under his belt so far, Kaveh has scored 7 goals or 28 percent share of his team\u2019s tally of goals. With seven goals, Kaveh Rezaei is now Charleroi\u2019s top scorer and Belgian top division\u2019s third highest scorer.<\/p>\n

The story does not end there as he has also provided five assists to his teammates, which also places him as Belgian league\u2019s top four assist providers so far.<\/p>\n

Kaveh Rezaei\u2019s fascinating progress in his new team in his debut season has also caught the eyes of Iran national team head coach ahead of World Cup 2018 games.<\/p>\n

After a long absence from Iran squad, upon his great performances in Belgium, he was once again called up to the National team for Iran\u2019s friendly games against Panama, Russia, and Togo.<\/p>\n

Considering Iranian team\u2019s main striker, Sardar Azmoun currently suffers goal-draught, Carlos Queiroz must have seen an effective plan B in Kaveh Rezaei at upcoming World Cup games. Or who knows, maybe he becomes Plan A for Iran in Russia, ahead of the well-developed Sardar Azmoun?<\/p>\n

So far though, he is Sporting Charleroi\u2019s Plan A and one of the best goalscorer in Belgium. Kaveh Rezaei only needs to prove that he can repeat his great performances at international levels too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
