The 30-year-old completed a move from Qatari club Al-Sailiya to Olympiacos’ city rival on Tuesday, where he signed a three-year deal in the capital.

Ansarifard penned a two-year contract in Qatar after leaving Forest in July last year, but just over 12 months into his stay in Doha, has opted for a return to Europe where he’ll earn a 600,000 euro bonus.

Ansarifard has also played in Greek football team Panionios.

He was a member of Team Melli at the 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cups.

The 32-year-old player has joined the Greek giant until the end of the season, with the option to negotiate a further year.

Shojaei has been released from Panionios and AEK Spanish coach Manolo Jimenez considers him as an ideal replacement for captain Petros Mantalos, who has missed the remainder of 2017-18 season because of cruciate ligament injury.

Shojaei started his playing career with Sanat Naft Abadan in 2002 and has also played in Saipa, Al-Sharjah, CA Osasuna, UD Las Palmas, Al-Shahania Sports Club and Al-Gharafa Sports Club.
