Report: West Ham United to move for Edin Dzeko

West Ham United reportedly earmark former Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko as a potential £20m transfer target this summer.

West Ham United have reportedly set their sights on bringing Roma striker Edin Dzeko back to the Premier League this summer.

The Hammers have enjoyed an impressive campaign in the English top flight so far this season and are expected to strengthen their squad ahead of their first season in the Olympic Stadium next term.

Gazzetta dello Sport claims that they have earmarked Dzeko as one of their main targets, with the former Manchester City man reportedly available for around £20m.

The 30-year-old joined Roma from City last summer but has managed just seven goals in 25 appearances for the Serie A outfit in his debut season at the club.

It is thought that the allure of a new stadium and potentially European football could convince Dzeko to swap Rome for East London, with Hammers manager Slaven Bilic understood to be a keen admirer of the Bosnian.

Dzeko scored 72 goals in 189 appearances during a five-year stint in the Premier League with Man City.
