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.
