Man City boss Pellegrini happy with Dzeko deal

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini is delighted with what he's seen from Edin Dzeko going into the new season.

Dzeko has enjoyed a new lease of life since Pellegrini arrived at the Etihad Stadium and was rewarded with a new four-year contract on Wednesday.

The Chilean said: "Edin has convinced himself that he can't wait as a striker just to score one goal.

"He has to play for 95 minutes every game, not always scoring but working for the team and making the movements.

"I think he is one of the players who has improved most in his attitude in the game."
