Ashkan Dejagah reiterates desire to continue playing football in Europe

Tasnim – DOHA, Iran national football team’s international midfielder Ashkan Dejagah has played down speculation linking him with a move to Qatar Stars League.

Dejagah is without a team since parting company with Wolfsburg in early June. He was recently in Doha, Qatar on a personal visit.

“I traveled to Doha to see my friends. I’ve played in Al Arabi for three years but at the moment I’d rather play in a European team,” Dejagah said.

“The 2018 World Cup is a great goal for me and I want to make sure I am fully prepared for the competition,” he added.

Dejagah played for Team Melli in the 2014 World Cup.
