Incredible statistic: Proof Chelsea target is one of Europe’s most underrated strikers

In the January transfer window, Chelsea were heavily linked with signing Edin Dzeko from Roma.

After all the talk, the Blues only signed Emerson Palmieri from the Italian side, rather than a rumoured £44million double deal for both stars.

But this weekend, Dzeko proved once again why at 31, he’s still wanted by top clubs around Europe, and one of the most underrated stars of recent times as he scored twice in his side’s 4-2 win over Napoli.

Since 2007, the Bosnian star has played for Wolfsburg, Manchester City, and Roma, winning the Bundesliga once, and the Premier League twice.
