Ghoochannejhad cleared to leave Standard

Persianfootball.com – LIEGE, Despite having a 100% scoring record in Iran’s national team this year and having scored a goal in each of his lone Belgian League and Cup appearances this season, Iranian international striker Reza Ghoochannejhad remained surplus to the coach’s requirements at Standard Liege.

The left-footed central forward had already announced in summer that match praxis is vital for him ahead of next year’s World Cup, but the club had refused to let him go in summer.

However, now Standard seems to be willing letting their number 7 leave, giving green light to a loan switch for the second half of the season.

Several clubs from Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands have previously expressed interest in signing the 26-year-old goalgetter.
