Italian sports outlet Calcio Mercato have reported that West Ham target Edin Dzeko will be made available for £14 million this summer.
The same publication, who last month suggested that Hammers boss David Moyes was looking to bring Dzeko back to the Premier League, have now claimed that the AS Roma striker could be available for a reasonable transfer fee.
The Bosnian has been superb since he joined Roma from Manchester City in 2016 and has managed 70 goals in 141 matches for the Italian side. Despite his advancing years, the 34-year-old continued his sublime form last season, racking up 19 goals and 14 assists in 43 appearances.
With 107 international caps, the powerful, experiences Bosnian international could be a coo for the Hammers despite his best days perhaps being behind him.
It would, of course, be Deko’s second tilt at the Premier League, having scored 50 goals in his five years with Man City.

Moyes certainly seems to be on the look-out for more competition for record signing Sebastien Haller next season.
The Frenchman, who could end up costing the London Stadium club £45 million, could benefit from the arrival of Dzeko, a player he could certainly learn a lot from.
With Dzeko being almost guaranteed to score a certain number of goals if he is given the game time, even at 34 years of age and at £14 million, he could still prove a worthwhile signing.
