Tasnim - Former Iran captain Javad Nekounam will undergo a medical test at Qatar’s Al-Arabi Sports Club on Thursday.

Saipa captain will be reunited with his countryman Ashkan Dejagah in the Qatari top-flight team.

The 35-year-old midfielder joined Saipa in July 2015 on a one-year deal.

He will join Al-Arabi on a four-month contract for the rest of the season.

Nekounam started his playing career with Pas in 1998 and joined the UAE’s Al-Wahda after seven years.

The former Iran captain has also played for Osasuna, Esteghlal and Al-Kuwait.
