Man City striker Dzeko receives glowing reception in Rome

Edin Dzeko has been welcomed warmly by AS Roma fans ahead of his transfer to the Italian club.

The Bosnian striker arrived in the Italian capital on Thursday as his much talked about move from Manchester City to Roma moves closer.

Dzeko was mobbed by Giallorossi fans at Rome's Fiumicino airport, stopping to take photos and meet with the supporters of the capital club.

29-year-old Dzeko will end a four-and-a-half year stay with City when he undertakes a medical and signs a £14million deal with Roma on Friday.
