Hungary for success, Socceroo Arzani returns to Europe
Socceroos winger Daniel Arzani has signed up for a second crack at making it in Europe, departing Melbourne Victory for Hungarian champions Ferencvarosi TC. Arzani, 26, will join a club involved in Champions League qualifiers as he tries to kick on from two strong years at Victory, where he reached two grand finals and found the form required to return to the Socceroos fold. "My time at Melbourne Victory has been incredibly rewarding," said Arzani, who had also been linked to Scottish club Hearts. "The club has played a key role in my growth both on and off the pitch over the past couple of seasons, allowing me to enjoy my football and do what I do best." The winger will attempt to kick on and cement his spot ahead of next year's World Cup. Arzani was famously a teen sensation who signed for Manchester City after bursting on to the scene with Melbourne City and appearing at the 2018 World Cup. But an ACL tear in his first loan stint, at Celtic, started a horror four years of bouncing around Europe at different clubs. Arzani had difficult loan stints at Celtic, Dutch team Utrecht, Danish club AGF and Belgian club Lommel, before returning to the A-League Men with Macarthur FC. He joined Victory ahead of the 2023-24 season under now-Socceroos boss Tony Popovic. Across 64 appearances, Arzani notched seven goals and 12 assists for Victory and was show-stopping at his dynamic best while clearly improving his fitness. Arzani's departure follows talented fullback Kasey Bos leaving Victory for German Bundesliga club Mainz. "We are proud of the way Melbourne Victory has been able to kick-start Daniel's career over the past two seasons and enabled him to re-establish himself as an exciting and entertaining talent in Australia, while also earning call-ups with the Socceroos, who as we know are now on the path to the FIFA World Cup 2026," Victory football director John Didulica said. "We thank Daniel for the role he played in helping the club reach consecutive A-League Men's grand finals and hope his upward trajectory can continue in Europe."

A-League: Daniel Arzani leaves Victory to join Ferencvaros
Don't miss out on the headlines from Football. Followed categories will be added to My News. Socceroos playmaker Daniel Arzani has left Melbourne Victory to join Hungarian champions Ferencvaros. The move marks a return to Europe for 26-year-old Arzani, who after leaving Melbourne City in 2018 to sign as a teenager in 2018 with English Premier League giants Manchester City had loan spells with Celtic (Scotland), Utrecht (Netherlands), AGF (Denmark) and Lommel (Belgium), returned to the A-League in 2022 to join Macarthur FC. Arzani returned to Melbourne the following year to link with the Victory, where he has spent the past two seasons, helping the club to successive A-League grand final appearances. 'My time at Melbourne Victory has been incredibly rewarding,' Arzani said. 'The club has played a key role in my growth both on and off the pitch over the past couple of seasons, allowing me to enjoy my football and do what I do best. 'While I am excited for the next chapter, I will always be grateful for my time at Melbourne Victory and the enormous support I received from the club's members and fans.' Arzani's time at the Victory has also coincided with his return to the national team after an absence of six years. He has scored one goal – against Hungary in June 2018 – in his 10 appearances for the Socceroos. Arzani's move to Ferencvaros, who are coached by Irishman and former Tottenham and Liverpool striker Robbie Keane, could also give him the chance to compete in the UEFA Champions League, with his new club in the competition's second qualifying round. Arzani – who had also been linked with a move to Scottish club Hearts – is the second player in the past two days to leave the Victory, with left-back Kasey Bos also heading to Europe after a signing a four-year-deal with German Bundesliga club Mainz 05 for a deal that will reportedly net the Melbourne club a transfer fee of $880,000. Meanwhile, Sydney FC has released German import Anas Ouahim from the final season of his Sky Blues contract for family reasons. Ouahim's desire to be closer to his son in Germany has led to his departure, with the 27-year-old midfielder set to continue his career closer to Europe in the Middle East. 'At the moment, the distance makes it difficult for me to see him, and I'm very thankful to the club for supporting my decision and allowing me to end the final year of my contract,' he said.
