Manuel Pellegrini remains keen to lure Edin Dzeko to West Ham during the summer - although reports that a deal has already struck appear to be premature.

However reports that the 33-year-old striker has already agreed a two-year deal worth in the region of €200,000 with West Ham are thought to be wide of the mark.
Roma's number nine has scored an impressive 15 goals from 41 appearances in Serie A and for Bosnia already this season, despite being in his mid-thirties.
