Tasnim - Andranik Teymourian has been linked with a move to Naft Tehran after he cancelled his contract with Esteghlal.

The 33-year-old midfielder joined Esteghlal from Machine Sazi on a six-month contract last week but was forced to cancel his deal after FIFA announced that the Blues cannot sign players during the January transfer window.

Teymourian represented Iran national football team in 2006 and 2014 World Cups.

Ando signed a two-year deal with FA Premier League club Bolton Wanderers after the 2006 World Cup and has also played at Fulham and Barnsley.

He has played in Iranian clubs Tractor Sazi and Saipa and Qatari clubs Al-Kharitiyath and Umm Salal.

Furthermore, Sajjad Shahbazzadeh will likely join Esteghlal Khuzestan according to local media.

Shahbazzadeh also joined Tractor Sazi on Thursday but the Iranian football club have been barred from signing players in the January transfer window and former Alanyaspor canceled his contract to join a new team.
