Alhaji - Saman Ghoddos

Tasnim - Salisu Abdullahi "Alhaji" Gero has been linked with a move to Iranian football club Esteghlal.

The 24-year-old striker could join Esteghlal after the end of Allsvenskan (Swedish professional league).

Esteghlal coach Winfried Schafer is looking for a striker and it seems the German coach has found his man.

Salisu Abdullahi "Alhaji" Gero is Iran international striker Saman Ghoddos’s team-mate in the Swedish club.

Gero made his debut for the Nigeria national under-20 football team at the eight-nation tournament in South Africa.

Esteghlal sits sixth in Iran Professional League but is 14 points behind Iran league pacesetter Persepolis.
