Roberto Mancini: 'Edin Dzeko would fit in well in Italy'

Former Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini believes that striker Edin Dzeko would benefit from a move to Italy.

The Bosnian's future at the Etihad Stadium has been in doubt in recent months, even more so since the official appointment of new manager Manuel Pellegrini on a three-year deal.

"Dzeko is a great striker and he could score 20-30 goals a season in Italy," the Manchester Evening News quotes Mancini as saying. "I'm sure of that."

Napoli, who are now being led by new manager Rafael Benitez, have been linked with a swoop for Dzeko.
