Title: Uzbek Striker Igor Sergeev Emerges as Potential Target for Persepolis
Tehran Eyes Mid-Season Reinforcement
Persepolis FC, one of Iran’s premier football clubs, is actively planning its mid-season strengthening strategy. A key area of focus for the team’s management is the forward line, identified as a position in need of fresh talent. In the last 24 hours, the name of experienced Uzbek striker Igor Sergeev has entered the conversation as a potential target for the Tehran-based club.
A Veteran Forward in the Spotlight
Igor Sergeev, a prominent Uzbek national team player, is currently under contract with FC Pakhtakor Tashkent until December 31, 2025. This marks his third stint with the club that played a pivotal role in his professional development. Sergeev’s career has seen him gain valuable experience across various Asian leagues, including spells in the Chinese Super League, the UAE Pro League, the Kazakh Premier League, and the Thai League.
A Proven International Pedigree
On the international stage, Sergeev has been a fixture for the Uzbekistan national team since 2013. With 80 caps and 23 goals to his name, he is considered a mainstay and a significant contributor to his national side’s attacking force.
Potential Partnership on the Horizon
Should the move materialize, Sergeev could potentially form a dynamic attacking partnership with his fellow countryman, Oston Urunov, at Persepolis. The prospect of this Uzbek duo playing together is generating considerable interest among football observers. The coming weeks will determine the outcome of Persepolis’s interest and whether Igor Sergeev will make the move to Iranian football.
