Teymourian intends to stay in Europe

MNA – LONDON, Iran’s Fulham midfielder Andranik Teymourian wants to continue his career in Europe after his current contract with the Premier League team expires.

Teymourian has not been in the starting lineup for a long time and intends to leave Fulham in the summer.

“I wanted to join another team in the winter break but I didn’t receive a good offer. I am determined to stay in Europe and I don’t want to return to Iran,” Teymourian was quoted as saying by Iranfootball.ir.

“Gaffer Roy Hodgson prefers to use the other players in Fulham and I cannot stay at the Craven Cottage. I am sure I am going to have bright days in Europe football,” the 27-year-old added.

Iran will play Thailand on March 3 in the 2011 Asian Cup qualifier in Tehran.
“We have already qualified for the 2011 Asian Cup and will play Thailand without any pressure. I believe that Iran is even able to claim the title of the 2011 Asian Cup championship,” Teymourian said.
