Haitian striker Nazon joins Esteghlal
Esteghlal signed Haitian international striker Duckens Nazon on a three-year contract – reportedly worth €850,000 – the Persian Gulf Pro League club announced on Sunday.
Nazon, 31, bagged eight goals and four assists in 33 Süper Lig appearances for Kayserispor last season, taking his tally to 10 goals and five assists across two seasons with the Turkish top-flight side.
The former Coventry City and CSKA Sofia player, who has an impressive 40 goals in 68 international caps, is the 10th summer signing for the Tehran Blues, who have Portuguese Ricardo Sa Pinto back on the bench as the head coach and are desperate to improve on last season’s ninth-place finish in the domestic league.
Esteghlal’s activity in the market gathered pace in recent days as the club secured the signing of Albanian international winger Jasir Asani last week, before former Real Madrid and Sporting CP goalkeeper Antonio Adán came in as a free agent, while young Iranian striker Saied Saharkhizan joined from Russian club FC Orenburg on a three-year contract.
