Bosnia coach Prosinecki: Dzeko right to reject Chelsea

Bosnia coach Robert Prosinecki says Roma striker Edin Dzeko was right to turn down Chelsea.

Dzeko had been on the verge of a transfer to Stamford Bridge in the January window, but opted to remain at the Stadio Olimpico.

“Dzeko is Dzeko, it doesn't matter whether he plays for Roma or Chelsea, as they are both big clubs," Prosinecki told Klix.

The Giallorossi finished ahead of Chelsea and Atletico Madrid in their Champions League group and will face Shakhtar Donetsk in the Round of 16.

“I will soon be in Italy to view some of our players, because as well as Dzeko there are also Miralem Pjanic and Ervin Zukanovic."
