5 most underrated strikers of the 21st century

#5 Edin Dzeko

Dzeko has been a consistent goalscorer for each of his clubs

Not a technically gifted player by any means, Edin Dzeko had been a prolific goal scorer throughout his career, thanks to his positioning and field awareness.

Starting his career with Zeljeznicar in Bosnia, Dzeko got his big break at Wolfsburg. He led Wolfsburg to its first ever Bundesliga title in 2008-09, simultaneously being named Bundesliga's Player of the Year.

Dzeko spent five seasons at Manchester City, winning two Premier Leagues and one FA Cup. Despite getting only 74 starts, Dzeko managed to keep an impressive record of a goal per 148 minutes.

Dzeko carried Bosnia and Herzegovina to its first ever FIFA World Cup in 2014. At the age of 31, he was in the form of his life last season at Roma. With 33 strikes, he broke Francesco Totti's record of most goals in a season by a Roma player.

Despite finishing top scorer in Bundesliga, Seria A, Europa League and various other tournaments, Edin Dzeko's name is rarely mentioned among the best strikers of this generation. Not to mention he is also the all-time top scorer for his national side.
