Daniel Arzani was born in Khorramabad, Iran, on 4 January 1999 (age 27), and has represented Australia. A compact winger at 5ft 7in (1.71m), he has mostly worked from the right, the sort of player whose career has had movement and promise rather than a straight, settled line.
His Celtic move came in August 2018 from Manchester City. The spell sits in that slightly awkward category of modern football arrangement where the badge on the shirt matters more than the permanence of the deal, but he was part of a Celtic squad that won two Premiership titles, in 2018-2019 and 2019-2020, and also finished as Scottish Cup runners-up.
Arzani later found a steadier run back in Australia. His most productive league season came with Melbourne Victory in 2023-2024, when he scored four goals in 27 appearances. That was a more substantial body of work than he had managed in some earlier stops, and it gave his career a bit of shape again.
He is now with Ferencvaros, wearing squad number 14. In 2026-2027 he has made five Nemzeti Bajnokság I appearances, along with two in Europa League qualifying and two in the Europa League proper, scoring once in the latter. His current market value is around £340,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Arzani’s career has taken him from Manchester City to Celtic, back through Australia, and on to Hungary. He remains an established professional with international pedigree, though his story has been more stop-start than spectacular.
