Stoke keeper Begovic backing Man City striker Dzeko for big World Cup

Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic is backing Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko for big World Cup.

The pair will be making their World Cup debuts with Bosnia this month.

Begovic told talkSPORT: "Having him in your team gives you half a chance because he can score a goal out of nothing. We have some good quality in our team, he leads from the front for us and he's one of our main players.

"He plays in one of the best teams in the world and has to prove himself each and every day to everybody.

"He's a fantastic striker - one of the best in the world in my opinion - we're glad he's on our side and if he's firing, then it gives us half a chance that's for sure."
