Top dog: Wolfsburg's Edin Dzeko celebrates a
goal
The Daily Star
Sunday reports than United are lining up a £12m move
for Bosnia international Dzeko.
The 23-year-old is seen as the perfect replacement for
Tevez, who has still not signed a permanent deal at Old Trafford.
His two-year loan deal expires at the end of the season and United
are reluctant to pay the £32m asking price for the Argentina hot
shot.
Dzeko is the top European scorer in the World Cup qualifying
campaign with seven goals. He scored three times in Bosnia’s recent
two matches against Belgium and in all has scored 12 goals in 17
matches for his country.
His form has also attracted interest from Arsenal, Portsmouth,
Blackburn and Sunderland in the Barclays Premier League, plus Alex
McLeish’s promotion-chasing Birmingham.
