IRAN World Cup stars Mehrdad Pooladi and Ehsan Hajsafi are being lined up for moves to the Premier League.
Pooladi, capped 23 times, was the pick of the Iranian side that performed so well during World Cup group clashes against Nigeria and Argentina.
He plays for Iranian club Persepolis but has been given permission to look for a new club in Europe.
“In the coming weeks both hope to secure transfers”
And Pooladi, who topped his nation’s official individual FIFA rankings in Brazil, would jump at the chance of coming to England.
A source close to the Iranian camp told the Daily Star Sunday: “Mehrdad loves the Premier League and would choose there ahead of anywhere else.
“There is interest in him from clubs in England – and also in his team-mate Hajsafi.
“In the coming weeks both hope to secure transfers.”
Hajsafi’s international debut came back in 2008 when 17. He has since made 64 appearances.
As well as Hull’s interest, big-spenders Fulham and Cardiff are also tracking the Sepahan FC playmaker.
