TEHRAN – Iran Persepolis football club have completed the signing of center-back Hossein Abarghouei from Kheybar.

Abarghouei has signed a three-year contract with Persepolis for an undisclosed fee.

“My dream has come true. I have been a Persepolis fan since I was a child, and I am here to help my beloved team,” Abarghouei said.
