Swedish-born Iranian footballer Saman Ghoddos, who had initially been linked with a move to join Spanish football club Sociedad Deportiva Huesca, is on the verge of landing in Stade Rennais Football Club, which currently plays in the top tier of French football – Ligue 1.

There are reports that the 24-year-old footballer’s Swedish club Östersunds FK has accepted an offer from the French side on Ghoddos move for 3.5 million euros ($ 4 million), with 20 percent of the contract value in case of re-sale.

The young Iranian sportsman has so far this season scored ten goals in 20 games for Östersunds FK. He is reportedly under contract with the Swedish club until 2020.
