Manuel Pellegrini: 'Edin Dzeko will remain at Manchester City'

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has insisted that Edin Dzeko will remain at the club.

The Bosnian striker has been linked with a move away from England this summer, with several Italian clubs reportedly interested.

"I spoke two weeks ago with Dzeko when he was on holiday," Pellegrini told reporters.

"He does not have any problems. He will stay here. For me, he's a very important player. I'm sure that he will give this year, the performances to show what he can do."

Pellegrini did admit earlier this week, though, that he is looking to sign a new striker.
