Dzeko to prolong City life

There are a few guarentees playing for Manchester City, firstly you will earn more in a week than what the average person does in a year. Secondly, you're likely to live in salubrious Cheshire, and lastly if you aren't featuring regularly in the team, you will be the subject of transfer speculation.

All three of these ring true to the ears of Bosnian striker, Edin Dzeko. Having arrived for £27million from Wolfsburg in January 2011, he has endured an up and down start to life in England.

The City number 10 wants to remain in Manchester, as reported by Sky Sports.

This season, though, started very well for Dzeko; scoring 7 goals in his first 4 matches of the current campaign, including 4 in City's 5-1 win at White Hart Lane in August.

Since then, however, Dzeko's season has been plagued with inconsistency and he hasn't scored for the Etihad Stadium outfit since February.

Silvana Martina, has moved to quash rumours and told tuttojuve.com: 'At this time, Edin is fine at Manchester City and he has no plans to change team.
