Manchester City could have really done with his goals this season. After, a poor first season (by his standards), he has established himself as one of the best in Europe again. The highest goal scorer in Italy, he has led an unlikely title challenge from Roma against the mighty Juventus.

Given that he is 31-years-old and has had the best season of his career is a testament to his fitness and hunger. Also, he is the first Roma player to score 27 goals in a season since Enrique Guaita in 1934/35.

“I'm not a boy anymore,” Dzeko told English outlet ‘The Independent’, “I can't run maybe like I could ten years ago...you feel different. I'm older, but I'm much [more] clever because I have so many games behind me”. Let’s call it his Italian renaissance.
