Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko has reportedly signed a new four-year deal with the Premier League defending champions.

Dzeko joins Sergio Aguero, Samir Nasri, Aleksandar Kolarov, Vincent Kompany and David Silva in committing their futures to City.

The striker said that over the last three and a half years they have made history together, but he feels like they are only at the start of something really special. He added that he is really happy here at City and it's a second home to him, The BBC reported.

Dzeko has scored 46 goals in 109 Premier League appearances since joining City and became Roberto Mancini's ninth signing when he joined the club on a five-year deal from Wolfsburg in January 2011.

 

In 2012-13, Dzeko was City's top-scorer with 15 goals in 44 appearances.

The striker became the highest league scorer in Wolfsburg's history, netting 66 goals in 111 Bundesliga matches.

He scored 26 goals during City's second title-winning season of 2013-14 and was also a League Cup winner as City beat Sunderland 3-1 at Wembley. Dzeko played for Bosnia-Hercegovina at the World Cup in Brazil in the summer, scoring against Iran.

Dzeko added that there are still so many objectives and goals that he wants to reach from his career in the game and believes that he is in the perfect place to achieve them all.
