TEHRAN – Nigerian media reports suggest that Qatari and Saudi Arabian football clubs have shown interest in signing Persepolis’s striker Godwin Mensha.

Mensha scored Persepolis’s first goal against Nasaf of Uzbekistan in Group C of the AFC Champions League on Tuesday, where they won the match 3-0.

The 28-year-old striker, who joined Persepolis in May 2017 on a two-year contract, helped the Iranian giants to achieve their best AFC Champions League performance ever in reaching the semi-final last year.

The Nigerian forward had been also linked with a move to Turkish football club Bursaspor.

Persepolis have been banned from registering players for two windows for breaching rules in September and it seems the Reds are reluctant to sell their striker.
