# Dzeko determined to join Inter despite West Ham interest

Edin Dzeko is a wanted man this summer. West Ham are keen to sign him, but according to [Il Messaggero](https://www.ilmessaggero.it/sport/calcio/roma_napoli_ranieri_ancelotti_ex_premier_league_e_liga_imbattuto-4385346.html), he has his heart set on a switch to Inter Milan.

The Hammers are understood to have established an interest in signing the Bosnian international from Roma, who are keen to sell him in the summer transfer window.

Dzeko has little more than a year remaining on his contract at Stadio Olimpico, and Claudio Ranieri’s club want to cash in on the ageing centre forward.

Manuel Pellegrini worked alongside the 33-year-old during his successful tenure in charge of Manchester City, and reports have suggested that the Chilean is keen on reuniting with the striker ahead of next season.

However, the West Ham manager’s wishes may not be granted, with Il Messaggero reporting that Dzeko is determined to complete a summer switch to San Siro.

Inter may be on the lookout for a new striker, with Mauro Icardi’s future uncertain, and the experienced Roma star appears to be in their sights.
