Ajax Keen to Land Iran’s Jahanbakhsh: Report
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Dutch giant Ajax has shown interest in signing Iran international winger Alireza Jahanbakhsh.
Since leaving AZ Alkmaar for a big-money Premier League switch, Jahanbakhsh has failed to make the mark at Brighton and Hove Albion, scoring just twice in 34 career appearances.
In fact, Jahanbakhsh has made just eight Premier League appearances this season and with three years remaining on his contract, it could be the perfect time for Brighton to sell.
According to De Telegraaf, the 26-year-old would be open to an Eredivisie comeback and Ajax has set its sights on bringing him into the fold.
With Hakim Ziyech off to Chelsea, Ajax are in need of a winger and Marc Overmars has apparently been in contact with the player.
Brighton has come out of the lengthy delay with a big win against Arsenal and an impressive draw against Leicester and is now six points above the drop zone with seven games to play.
Should Brighton have the misfortune of getting relegated, Ajax would undoubtedly get a significant discount on Jahanbakhsh. It’s currently unclear how much Brighton want for the player.
