Udinese Calcio v AS Roma - Serie A — Edin Dzeko could be on his way out of Roma at the end of the season

One of the most underrated strikers in world football at the moment, Edin Dzeko was strongly linked with a move to Chelsea in the January transfer window. The Bosnian striker has been successful wherever he has played be it Bundesliga club Wolfsburg, Premier League side Manchester City and his current side AS Roma. A prolific goalscorer, Dzeko had a stunning 2016/17 season where he scored 39 goals in 51 appearances.

This season as well, the Bosnian superstar has been impressive contributing 11 goals in the Serie A and 3 goals in the Champions League. A complete striker, Dzeko will be crucial to Roma's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League this season.

Still only 31, Dzeko will be determined to add some more successful chapters to his already storied career.
