Everton and West Ham United reportedly want to sign Edin Dzeko from AS Roma.

Edin Dzeko of AS Roma appeals to the referee during the Serie A match between AS Roma and ACF Fiorentina at Stadio Olimpico on April 03, 2019 in Rome, Italy.

According to Calciomercato.com, AS Roma forward Edin Dzeko is open to joining West Ham United in the summer transfer window.

It has been reported that Dzeko has said ‘yes’ to a proposed switch to West Ham, where he would be reunited with his former Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini.

The report has also claimed that Everton and Inter Milan are looking at securing the services of the 33-year-old forward in the summer.

According to Calciomercato.com, West Ham have made a bid of €10 million (£8.62m), but Roma want as much as €20m (£17.24m).

Risking signing for West Ham United?

Dzeko is a very good forward who did well in the Premier League during his spell at City.

However, the Bosnia and Herzegovina international is now 33 years of age, and West Ham would be better off planning long term and signing younger players.

The forward has made 21 starts and five substitute appearances in Serie A for Roma so far this season, scoring seven goals and providing three assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
