Persepolis recently managed to attract Serge Aurier to its ranks and would also like to sign Dennis now. New information suggests a two-year contract, with an optional additional year, is on the table.
Discussions are progressing between all stakeholders. An agreement should be reached shortly. Last season with Blackburn, where he was on loan, the Nigerian striker played only six matches and scored no goals.
