Borussia Moenchengladbach eye Hanover's Hashemian

IRNA - German Bundesliga club Borussia Moenchengladbach which has already been relegated into the second division with three games left before the end of the season, is interested in signing Hanover's Iranian forward Vahid Hashemian, the sports portal sport 1 reported Monday.

Hashemian has had a below average with Hanover this season, having scored just four goals and provided six assists in 31 Bundesliga matches.

The Iranian international whose earlier Bundesliga engagements included Bayern Munich, VfL Bochum and Hamburger SV, signed a three- year deal with the north German team in 2005.

Hashemian is among less than a handful of Iranian players in the first German division.

Hanover 96 is presently ranked 9th in the Bundesliga.
