Nigerian
footballer Salisu Abdullahi "Alhaji" Gero has reportedly been linked
with a move to the Iranian professional football club Esteghlal Tehran, which
currently plays in the Persian Gulf Pro League.
The
24-year-old striker, who plays for Östersunds Fotbollsklubb, commonly known
simply as Östersunds FK, could join Esteghlal after the end of the current
season of the Swedish first tier, Allsvenskan.
The report
comes as Esteghlal’s German manager Winfried Schäfer is looking for a forward
to add to his team’s line-up, and has Gero on his radar.
Gero signed
his first professional contract with Nigerian football team El-Kanemi Warriors
at the age of sixteen in 2009.
The next
year, he moved on to Lobi Stars. Gero then played for Kaduna United and Enugu
Rangers football clubs at the Nigerian Professional Football League.
In August
2013, Gero signed a contract with Swedish football club Östers Idrottsförening,
commonly known as Östers IF or simply Öster.
Danish club
Viborg FF announced in December 20140 that it had signed Gero on a free
transfer. Both sides agreed on January 16, 2016, to terminate the contract.
The Nigerian
footballer signed with Östersunds FK two days later.
