Mehdi Ghayedi
Mehdi Ghayedi (Persian: مهدی قایدی; born 5 December 1998) is an Iranian professional footballer who plays as a winger or second striker for UAE Pro League club Al-Nasr and the Iran national team.
Ghayedi was born in Bushehr and began his career at the youth level with local side Iranjavan Bushehr. After his promotion to the senior squad, he was named the 2016–17 Azadegan League Young Player of the Season for scoring 10 league goals.
On 8 June 2017, Ghayedi signed a three-year contract with Esteghlal. Upon signing, he was given the number 16.
At the start of the 2017–18 season, the FFIRI barred Ghayedi from playing for Esteghlal, along with club teammates Majid Hosseini and Omid Noorafkan, as the three were expected to join the Iran under-23 training camp. However, the order was cancelled on 29 July 2017, with Ghayedi missing only the first week of the new season. He made his debut for Esteghlal as a substitute on 4 August 2017 in a 0–0 draw against Esteghlal Khuzestan, becoming the youngest league player to ever play for the club. Despite limited minutes, Ghayedi was praised on his debut for his skills and effort.
Ghayedi made his first start for the club in a 3–0 victory over Sepahan on 6 December 2017. On 25 January 2018, he was named man of the match for his performance in a 4–0 victory against Pars Jonoubi Jam, during which he provided an assist and won a penalty kick.
On 29 January 2018, Ghayedi was involved in a serious car crash in his hometown of Bushehr, along with friends and a cousin, who died a few days later. As a result of the accident, Ghayedi required surgery on his spleen and was ruled out for the rest of the season. A day later, Esteghlal beat Sanat Naft in Hazfi Cup, and Ghayedi's teammates dedicated the victory to him.
During the summer of 2021, Ghayedi was heavily linked with a move to Qatari side Al-Gharafa. However on 23 August 2021, he signed for Emerati side Shabab Al Ahli on a five-year contract.
Ghayedi was selected by manager Amir Hossein Peiravani to join the Iran under-20 team for the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup. After sitting on the bench for Iran's opening match against Costa Rica, Ghayedi made his tournament debut against Zambia, playing for 18 minutes in Iran's 4–2 defeat. He also played for a few minutes against Portugal as Iran lost the match and was knocked out of the competition.
