TEHRAN - Persepolis football club parted company with their forwards Nabil Bahoui and Shahab Zahedi on Monday.

Bahoui and Zahedi joined Persepolis in the summer but both of them failed to meet expectations.

Swedish Bahoui just scored one goal for the Reds, while Zahedi netted six goals.

Persepolis completed the signing of Issa Alekasir in the January transfer window and have been reportedly linked with Togolese striker Peniel Mlapa.

The 33-year-old player has previously played in 1860 Munich, 1899 Hoffenheim, Borussia Mönchengladbach, and Ittihad Kalba.
