Edin Dzeko does not intend to join West Ham United, according to a report from Italy.

Edin Dzeko of AS Roma reacts during the Serie A match between Udinese and AS Roma at Stadio Friuli on November 24, 2018 in Udine, Italy.

According to Gazzetta Dello Sport, Edin Dzeko isn’t interested in signing for West Ham United.

Sky Sports reported earlier this week that West Ham had been offered the chance to sign the Roma hitman, whose contract expires next summer.

A lot of fans of the East London club expressed their interest in seeing him join the Hammers, with Dzeko previously winning two Premier League titles with Manchester City.

But it doesn’t look like he’ll be joining the Irons, if a report from Italy is anything to go by,

Gazzetta Dello Sport have written that Dzeko has no interest in working under Manuel Pellegrini again, and would prefer to stay in Italy.

The report adds that Inter Milan might be interested in signing Dzeko – who earns £75,000 per week in Rome [Calciomercato] – as a replacement for linked-away Mauro Icardi.

The 33-year-old marksman has 50 Premier League goals in 130 outings.
