Roma coach Eusebio Di Francesco says he will continue to pick Edin Dzeko, despite rumours the striker nears an exit to Chelsea.
Chelsea's desire to bring in a striker in January has seen Dzeko emerge as their primary target following an ankle injury to West Ham's Andy Carroll.
The Premier League champions have been linked with a combined €50 million move for the Bosnia-Herzegovina international and team-mate Emerson Palmieri.
However, Roma have stated a deal is yet to be struck, with Goal reporting they are searching for a replacement for the striker who has scored 39 Serie A goals since the start of last season.
