Title: Sepahan FC Targets French-Algerian Striker Enzo Créoli to Strengthen Attack
Sepahan Seeks Offensive Reinforcement
Isfahan-based Sepahan FC is reportedly intensifying efforts to sign French-Algerian striker Enzo Créoli to bolster their attacking lineup. The 30-year-old forward, currently a free agent, previously played for Swiss club Servette FC, where he recorded 8 goals and 3 assists in 32 league appearances last season.
Créoli, who stands at 184 cm, has experience in France’s Ligue 1 with clubs like Bastia and Saint-Étienne, as well as stints in Turkey with Istanbul Başakşehir and Antalyaspor. His potential signing comes as Sepahan looks to address their offensive struggles following a disappointing defeat to Al-Duhail in the AFC Champions League playoff.
Urgent Need for Attack Reinforcement
Sepahan’s loss to Al-Duhail exposed weaknesses in their forward line, where missed opportunities cost them progression in the competition. With the Iranian Pro League season approaching, club officials are keen to finalize Créoli’s signing swiftly, though some consider the move overdue.
Despite the delay, Créoli’s arrival could prove crucial in both domestic and continental competitions, including the upcoming AFC Champions League 2. His physical presence and goal-scoring ability may provide the firepower Sepahan needs to compete at the highest level.
Créoli’s Recent Form
Last season, Créoli featured in European qualifiers, scoring against Chelsea in the UEFA Europa Conference League. While Servette failed to advance, his performances demonstrated his capability on bigger stages. In the 2022-23 season, he netted 11 goals and provided 1 assist in 42 matches.
Sepahan’s pursuit of Créoli signals their ambition to reinforce the squad ahead of a demanding season. If finalized, the transfer could mark a significant step in strengthening the team’s competitive edge.
