West Ham could be set for a blow in their pursuit of Edin Dzeko if Antonio Conte takes over at Roma.
According to Calcio Mercato, Conte could be the next manager of Roma and his arrival may spell the end of West Ham’s interest in Dzeko.
The report claims that Conte would want to renew Dzeko’s contract and keep him at the club for the foreseeable future.
Dzeko has been linked with a move away from Roma for a number of months, with the Italian side reportedly wanting โฌ25m for his signature.
Inter and West Ham have reportedly been battling it out to sign the Bosnian, but he could now be set to stay at Roma.
Dzeko has scored eight Serie A goals for Roma this season, after scoring 16 last season and 29 the season before that.
The centre-forward also has plenty of Premier League experience, having scored 50 goals in 130 league games for Manchester City during his time in England.
