The former Manchester City striker’s potential arrival at Stamford Bridge would go some way to satisfying Antonio Conte’s need for attacking reinforcements. Dzeko has scored 14 times for club and country this season and bagged a brace against the Blues in their Champions League group stage fixture earlier in the campaign. Contrasting reports in Italy suggest Roma value the striker between £24-57million and it has been suggested he could become part of a deal to take his teammate Emerson Palmieri to west London.
The Belgian is expected to depart Stamford Bridge this month as the Blues continue to look for alternative attacking options.
