The Hammers were first linked with a move for the 112-capped Bosnia international hitman last week.
Corriere dello Sport claimed that the 34-year-old has been offered to West Ham.
Dzeko clearly isn’t the player he once was, but he still has a lot to offer at the very highest level.
West Ham ‘desperately’ trying to seal deal for Edin Dzeko
La Repubblica claim that the Hammers are doing everything they can to bring the former Manchester City hitman to the London Stadium.
The experienced Roma ace would be a useful short-term addition for David Moyes.
Dzeko has scored 346 goals in 731 career games for club and country. He’s scored eight goals in 20 games for Roma this season (Transfermarkt).
The Bosnian is highly rated by a real West Ham legend.
Paolo Di Canio recently described the striker as an ‘extraordinary’ player (AreaNapoli).
Signing nobody should not be an option. This is the first time since 2016 where we have a genuine chance of finishing inside the top four.
Sure, Dzeko may not be the first choice of many West Ham fans. He would undoubtedly be good enough to see us through until the end of the season, however.
