Transfer news: Dzeko to Chelsea will happen since Roma don’t replace players – Ex-Reds star, Nicol

Former Liverpool star, Steve Nicol, has said that Roma striker, Edin Dzeko will join Chelsea because the Italian giants are a selling club.

Nicol believes the Bosnia and Herzegovina international will join the Blues since Roma is a club that do not worry about replacing players.

“I’m going to say this is a hit because Roma don’t over-worry about replacing players,” the Scottish told Express Sport.

“They sold Mohamed Salah to Liverpool last year for £30million and they get on with it.

“For Dzeko at 31, again he’s coming into that range of when the legs start going.

“I think this would be a good move for Dzeko, get back in the Premier League.

“Clearly Morata would be the No 1 but Dzeko would get plenty of time on the field.

“At 31 years of age, it’s not the worst thing to happen to you to be able to get some rest.

“I think this will happen because Roma do accept offers for players and I think Dzeko would like it. I’m going to say this is a hit.”
