Edin Dzeko: Roma sign Man City striker on season-long loan

 

Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko has joined Serie A side Roma on a season-long loan.

The Italian club have paid an initial £2.9m, with a further £7.9m due if the move is made permanent. 

"I came here to win titles with Roma," Dzeko said. "I can only promise one thing and that is that I will give my best for this club in every game." 

The 29-year-old Bosnia-Hercegovina international join Manchester City for Wolfsburg  in January 2011 for £27m. 

He had signed a new four-year contract at Etihad Stadium last summer. 

However, manager Manuel Pellegrini recently admitted that Edin Dzeko was likely to leave following the £49m capture of Liverpool Forward Raheem Sterling.
 
Dzeko was City's leading scorer with 15 goals in 2012-13 and hit 26 more in all competitions as they won the Premier League the following season, but he managed only six goals in 32 appearances last season. 

Shaw Post would like to wish Edin Dzeko the best of luck at AS Roma this season.
