Daniel Arzani, born in Khorramabad, Iran on 4 January 1999 (age 27), is an Australia international winger now with Ferencvaros. A compact wide player at 5ft 7in (1.71m), he primarily plays from the right.
Arzani joined Celtic from Manchester City in August 2018, a move that brought a fair amount of curiosity without needing much embroidery. His spell in Glasgow coincided with two Premiership title wins, in 2018-19 and 2019-20, and a Scottish Cup runners-up finish.
His most productive league season came back in Australia with Melbourne Victory in 2023-24, when he scored four goals in 27 appearances. It was a useful reminder of the directness and touch that had made him an interesting prospect in the first place.
At Ferencvaros, where he wears number 14, Arzani has made 11 appearances in all competitions in 2026-27, scoring once in the Europa League. That includes six outings in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I, two in Europa League qualifying and three in the Europa League proper. His current market value is around £340,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Arzani’s career has taken him from an early move to Celtic through spells back in Australia and on to Hungary. It remains a varied professional path rather than a settled one, with flashes of productivity and a Celtic title medal record that sits quietly on the CV.
