Alireza Jahanbakhsh , has turned down an offer by the English Championship league side, Brighton & Hove Albion according to the player’s agent.Amir Hashemi.

In a short statement to the media , Hashemi confirmed that there was a current offer from the 2nd tier English club , but Jahanbakhsh has turned it down because playing at that level of football will not be complimentary to his progress in European football, acoording to the player’s agent. Hashemi said that Brighton were looking for a quick answer from his client and were not willing to wait a long time, hence the answer was swift from Jahanbakhsh.

The young Team Melli player has won the MVP of the league last season helping his team NEC Nijmegen win the second division title and promotion to Eredvisie with a big margin.  Jahanbakhsh , whose Dutch is remarkably improving wishes to remain in Holland for the next season , unless some lucrative offer comes up.

The 21 years old winger has missed the last two Team Melli matches due to a slight injury.
