Taremi Voted AFC International Player of Week
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian forward Mehdi Taremi beat his countryman Reza Asadi to be named the AFC International Player of Week.
The Porto striker won the poll with 64 percent of votes.
It was a fitting way to end an excellent season for Taremi, who scored the opener and set up another as FC Porto eased to a 4-0 win against Belenenses, which sealed second place in Portugal’s Primeira Liga.
Taremi’s 16 league goals were good enough for third on the league scoring charts. The Iranian forward netted 23 in all competitions.
Lee Kang-in (Valencia, Korea Republic) and Reza Asadi (SKN St. Pölten, Iran) came second and third, respectively.
