Manchester City striker, Edin Dzeko, has joined Serie A side Roma on a season-long loan.

The Italian club have paid an initial £2.9m, with a further £7.9m due if the move is made permanent.

The 29-year-old, who joined City from Wolfsburg in January 2011 for £27m, hopes to give his best for his new club.

“I came here to win titles with Roma,” Dzeko said.

“I can only promise one thing and that is that I will give my best for this club in every game.”

Dzeko was City’s leading scorer with 15 goals in 2012-13 and hit 26 more in all competitions as they won the Premier League the following season.

He managed only six goals in 32 appearances last season.
