West Ham boss plays down rumours of move for Roma star
The latest Serie A star to be rumoured alongside West Ham in the media is Roma forward Edin Dzeko. In response, with quotes taken from CalcioMercato.com, Pellegrini said the following:
“There are always many players connected to us, but I can not dwell on the individual. Dzeko is a player I know well, but at the moment I'm not thinking about it.”
Therefore, for now, West Ham are distancing themselves from Dzeko for the time being but perhaps when his contract begins to enter its final months, or Roma decide they want to sell, the Hammers will revisit for the former Manchester City striker.
