Chelsea target Dzeko is still motivated to play for Roma, says Di Francesco

The Bosnian hitman has attracted strong interest from Stamford Bridge, but he will start a crucial weekend fixture for his current club

Roma coach Eusebio Di Francesco has insisted that Edin Dzeko still wants to give his all for the club despite rumours linking him to Chelsea.

The former Manchester City man has become one of the most potent strikers in Serie A since moving to the Giallorossi, smashing 39 goals in all competitions last year on his way to the Capocannoniere award.

That form has not gone unnoticed, with the Bosnian reportedly unsettled by the interest shown in him from Stamford Bridge.
