Edin Džeko (Serbo-Croatian pronunciation: [ˈedin ˈdʒeko];[tonemes?] born 17 March 1986) is a Bosnian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club Chelsea and the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team, for which he is captain.

He was named Bosnian Footballer of the Year for three years in a row.[3] In Bosnia and Herzegovina, he is known as Bosanski dijamant (The Bosnian Diamond).[4][5] Prior to joining Roma, he played for Manchester City, but he made a name for himself while playing for German club Wolfsburg, with whom he won the Bundesliga in the 2008–09 season. He was second-highest goalscorer with 26 goals. In the 2009–10 season, Džeko was the top scorer with 22 goals. He also registered ten assists in both seasons.

During the 2011–12 Premier League season, Džeko scored four goals in one game for Manchester City, completing a "perfect hat-trick" against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.[6] On the final day of that season, he scored an equaliser against Queens Park Rangers in the 92nd minute, before Sergio Agüero won it for City with seconds to go, ensuring the team won a league title for the first time in 44 years.[7][8] He later stated that the goal was one of the most important of his career.[9]

Džeko has played over 80 times for his country and scored 52 goals since 2007, becoming the highest Bosnia and Herzegovina goalscorer of all time on 7 September 2012 in a game against Liechtenstein where he scored a hat-trick to surpass Zvjezdan Misimović and Elvir Bolić. His ten goals in the qualifying campaign helped his national team qualify for its first international tournament, the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[10]

Club career

Early career

Džeko began his career at Željezničar, playing as a midfielder between 2003 and 2005, but with little success playing in that position. He was widely regarded as too tall, and with poor technical abilities.[11][12][13] Džeko's coach at the time though, Jiří Plíšek, saw his potential and when Plíšek returned home, he advised Teplice to buy him. Željezničar accepted a bid of just €25,000 for Džeko, one of Željezničar's directors saying years later, "[we] thought we won the lottery".[14] He had a loan spell with Ústí nad Labem in 2005, during which he scored six goals in 15 games. Later that year, he moved back to Teplice, staying there until 2007. With 13 goals in 30 games, he was the second-top goalscorer of the Czech League in the 2006–07 season. Due to his performances, VfL Wolfsburg manager Felix Magath signed him for €4 million.[15]

Wolfsburg

Džeko as winner of Bundesliga with Wolfsburg in 2009.

After moving to Wolfsburg, Džeko scored five goals and recorded three assists in 11 games. He was also named by Sportal as the best striker in the first half of the 2007–08 Bundesliga season. During his first season in Germany, Wolfsburg finished in fifth place, qualifying for a UEFA Cup spot for the 2008–09 season. Džeko finished the 2007–08 season with eight goals and seven assists in 17 games started.[16]

After Wolfsburg acquired fellow Bosnian international Zvjezdan Misimović in July 2008, Džeko's performances improved significantly in the 2008–09 season. During the first half of this season Edin scored five goals and added seven assists, but after the winter break entire team improved significantly, with Džeko scoring 21 goals and adding three more assists. This was especially visible during the 10 games winning streak from 7 February to 26 April 2009, in which he scored 11 goals and added 1 assist. In May 2009 Džeko scored hat-trick against 1899 Hoffenheim, and again, just two weeks later, against Hannover 96, contributing overall 26 goals and 10 assists in 32 league matches to the team title winning 2008–09 campaign. His goal tally was second only to teammate Grafite, with whom he formed the most successful strike duo in Bundesliga history,[17][18] and with the team's main assists and key pass provider, Zvjezdan Misimović, who himself broke longstanding Bundesliga record in assists by providing 20,[19][17][19] they formed "the magic triangle".[17][20] Wolfsburg ended the season as Bundesliga champions for the first time in the club's history. They finished two points clear of their title rivals for that season, Bayern Munich, whom they defeated 5–1 a month earlier,[21][22] in memorable game with Džeko and Grafite scoring two goals each with later scoring his second and team's fifth with memorable backheel,[17][20] and in which Wolfsburg, in third place at that point, exceeded Bavarians in second to take decisive lead for the first time[23] and went through to keep the league top spot for the rest of the season eventually winning it.[19]

In the DFB-Pokal, he scored six goals in two matches, and in the UEFA Cup, four goals and two assists in eight matches as the club reached the final of the tournament. These performances resulted in him being given the Bundesliga Players' Footballer of the Year award.[24] Despite attracting interest from AC Milan, Džeko decided to stay, renewing his contract until June 2013.[25][26]

He scored his first UEFA Champions League goal on 30 September 2009 against Manchester United in a 2–1 defeat at Old Trafford.[27][28] He was one of 30 players nominated for the 2009 Ballon d'Or.[29] He was top scorer of the Bundesliga in the 2009–10 season with 22 goals scored.[30]

On 28 August 2010, Džeko became the top league scorer in the club's history with 59 goals in 96 appearances, surpassing Diego Klimowicz who scored 57 goals in 149 games.[31] At the winter break stage of the 2010–11 Bundesliga season, Džeko had scored 10 goals in 17 matches.[32]

Manchester City

After heavy speculation, Roberto Mancini, manager of Manchester City, confirmed on 3 January 2011 that a fee of £27 million (€32 million) had been agreed with Wolfsburg for Džeko, which was City's second highest transfer figure, after Robinho's £32.5 million (€42.5 million) move from Real Madrid in 2008. The transfer fee was the sixth highest in the Premier League history at the time.[33] Also, the sum broke the Bundesliga record departure transfer fee,[34] Bosnian record transfer fee, as well as that of any player from ex-Yugoslavia at the time.[35][36][37] The previous ex-Yugoslav record stood for more than a decade – the transfer fee paid by Real Madrid to Fenerbahçe for Elvir Baljić in 1999 (€26 million).[35][38] In August 2014 he signed a new four-year deal with the club, taking his contract up to 2018.[39]

2010–11 season

Following his medical examination in London he travelled to Manchester on 5 January, and on 7 January, Džeko was confirmed as a Manchester City player, joining the club on a four-and-a-half year deal.[40]

He made his debut for the club in a 4–3 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on 15 January in which he set up Yaya Touré for the third goal of the match.[41] Džeko marked his FA Cup debut on 30 January 2011 with the equalising goal in Manchester City's fourth round match against Notts County which ended in a 1–1 draw.[42] In the replay on 20 February, Džeko again scored, helping Manchester City progress to the next round with a 5–0.[43] Džeko scored twice against Aris Thessaloniki within four and a half minutes at the City of Manchester Stadium in the second leg of the last 32 of the UEFA Europa League on 24 February 2011.[44]

On 25 April 2011, Džeko scored his first Premier League goal with a right footed finish against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.[45] This was the only goal of the game in a 1–0 win for Manchester City[46]

His last goal was against Bolton Wanderers on the final day of the season and guaranteed City third place in the Premier League over Arsenal and automatic qualification into the group stage of the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League.[47]

On 14 May 2011, Džeko was an unused substitute in Manchester City's 1–0 win over Stoke City the 2011 FA Cup Final, winning his first trophy with the club.[48]

2011–12 season

Džeko in City colours, 2011

Džeko started his second season with City by scoring the team's second goal in a 2–3 defeat against Manchester United in the FA Community Shield.[49] In his third Premier League game of this season, Džeko scored four goals against Tottenham Hotspur.[6] In this game, Džeko broke another record by becoming the first Manchester City player to score four goals in one Premier League match.[50] His tally of six league goals in three games won him the Premier League Player of the Month award for August.[51]

Further on, he grabbed some important goals such as a header against Wigan Athletic that sealed a 1–0 win for City and extended their lead over title rivals Manchester United to three points,[52] and a goal that put Manchester City 2–0 up against Porto in the Europa League, as they won 6–1 on aggregate.[53] He also scored a headed goal against Blackburn Rovers, which put Manchester City 3–0 up, and sealed the game, this subsequently maintained City's narrow two point margin over Manchester United.[54]

Bosnia and Herzegovina national manager Safet Sušić urged Džeko to leave City at the end of the season because of lack of first-team football towards the end of the season, with the likes of Juventus and Bayern Munich interested.[55] On the final day of the season, Džeko scored a 92nd-minute equaliser before Sergio Agüero scored in the 94th minute to beat Queens Park Rangers 3–2 and secure the Premier League title, the club's first in 44 years.[7] Following his goal that helped win the championship, his 19th goal and 40th appearance in all competitions, Džeko's agent denied reports that the striker would leave City saying it was all media speculation.[56]

2012–13 season

Manchester City teammates Sergio Agüero, Edin Džeko and David Silva.

Džeko began the new 2012–13 season with an equalising goal against Southampton in a 3–2 win. He scored another goal against Queens Park Rangers taking his tally to two goals in the opening three games. He then scored the first goal of City's Champions League campaign against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu. On 29 September, he scored an 87th-minute winner away at Fulham, one minute after appearing as a substitute. On 20 October, he came off the bench in the 79th minute to score a minute later. He scored a second goal two minutes into stoppage time to seal a comeback win for 10-man City against West Bromwich Albion. On 11 November, Džeko scored another late winning goal as a substitute with a left footed volley in the 88th minute against Tottenham Hotspur.[57] On 29 December 2012, he scored two goals against Norwich City in a 4–3 victory.[58]

He finished the season with 14 goals in the Premier League and 15 overall.[59]

2013–14 season

On the opening day of the 2013–14 Premier League season, Džeko was selected to start by new manager Manuel Pellegrini against Newcastle United at the City of Manchester Stadium. He scored his first goal in a 3–2 defeat at Cardiff City. Džeko scored his 50th goal in England with an only goal of the game against Crystal Palace on 28 December 2013.[60]

On 25 March 2014, Džeko scored twice in a 3–0 Manchester Derby win against Manchester United. His first goal came after just 43 seconds, making it the fastest away goal scored at Old Trafford in Premier League history.[61] On 27 April, he scored City's first goal of a 2–0 defeat of Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, closing the gap on league leaders Liverpool to three points with a game in hand.[62]

He scored a hat-trick in City's match at Everton on 3 May, helping City to a 3–2 win and lift the club to the top of the table with two matches left. His second goal of the game was Man City 150th goal in all competitions.[63] In City's penultimate game of the season against Aston Villa, Džeko scored two second-half goals as City won 4–0, ensuring that the club would be crowned champions with a draw against West Ham United at home on the final day, which City eventually won.[64]

2014–15 season

On 17 August 2014, Džeko assisted David Silva for Manchester City's first goal of the 2014–15 season in a 2–0 defeat of Newcastle United.[65] On 20 August, Džeko signed a new four-year contract with the club, tying him to Manchester City until 2018.[66]

On 24 September, Džeko scored his first two goals of the season as Manchester City beat Sheffield Wednesday 7–0 in the third round of the Football League Cup.[67] On 27 September, he again scored twice in Manchester City's 4–2 win away to Hull City to record his first goals of the Premier League season.[68]

On 21 February 2015, Džeko ended a run of 15 matches without a goal by scoring Manchester City's third goal in a 5–0 home victory against Newcastle United.[69]

Roma

After months of speculation during the 2015 summer transfer market, Džeko officially signed for Serie A outfit Roma on 12 August 2015, on a €4 million loan with an €11 million option to buy that becomes mandatory after certain performance related goals are met.[70][71] These clauses were activated on 1 October 2015, making Džeko a permanent member of Roma.[72]

2015–16 season

He made his Serie A debut ten days after his move from Manchester City, playing the entirety of a 1–1 draw at Hellas Verona,[73] and in his second appearance on 30 August, he scored the winning goal in the 79th minute to defeat reigning champions Juventus 2–1 at the Stadio Olimpico.[74] On 21 February 2016, he scored his first brace for Roma, scoring the first and last goals in a 5–0 win over Palermo.[75]
