Dzeko enjoying City life

Edin Dzeko expects to remain at the Etihad Stadium, and isn't worrying about the competition he will meet in his quest to get regular playing time.

The Bosnian scored 14 goals for the Citizens, as they won the title for the first time in 44 years this month.

A final day header against QPR gave Sergio Aguero the platform to win the game, and the title, in the 94th minute just under a fortnight ago.

Aguero is likely to be an obstacle in Dzeko's bid for first team football, with Carlos Tevez and Mario Balotelli looking to stay in Manchester as well.

The 26 year old has been linked with a move to Juventus, although his agent has dismissed the speculation.

Speaking before Bosnia-Herzegovinia take on Ireland in a friendly, Dzeko told Sky Sports: 'No it's not worrying me because I think I've shown that I can play at Man City and that I deserve to play. I've scored some very important goals.

'I'm still at Manchester City. For Man City I'm not thinking about my future. I'm just thinking about the games against Ireland and Mexico.

'The coach decides who plays and I respect that. I always tried to do my best all season, even when I didn't play.

'At the end I scored a goal, maybe one of the most important goals in City's history, and I'm so proud of that.'

Dzeko has made 30 appearances for Manchester City this season, with 14 of them coming from the bench.
